"Visual Culture" studies recognizes the predominance of visual forms of media, communication, and information in the postmodern world.Has there been a social and cultural shift to the visual, over against the verbal and textual, in the past 50 years, and has it been accelerating in the past 10 or 20 years?Or are our written, textual, and visual systems continuing an ongoing reconfiguration in a new (recognizable) phase?Study of visual culture merges popular and "low" cultural forms, media and communications, and the study of "high" cultural forms or fine art, design, and architecture."Visual Studies" intersects with the notion of "mediasphere" in mediology, the study of media systems and media as a system.Getting clear on terms: "visual" | "culture" | "system"The "visual culture" approach acknowledges the reality of living in a world of cross-mediation--our experience of culturally meaningful visual content appears in multiple forms, and visual content and codes migrate from one form to another:
- print images and graphic design
- TV and cable TV
- film and video in all interfaces and playback/display technologies
- computer interfaces and software design
- Internet/Web as a visual platform
- digital multimedia
- advertising in all media (a true cross-media institution)
- fine art and photography
- fashion
- architecture, design, and urban design
Global Village

Whether the choice to accommodate remote access is one of cost or simple logistics, the fact remains that it is now a common theme across all types of organizations. Invariably, anyone working within the technology spaces, especially those in the software sector, will often be part of groups that span both domestic and global geographies.
