Abstract

The Biomedical Photographic Communications Department at the Rochester Institute of Technology currently offers the only university-based degree programme in this field in the United States. With an enrolment of more than eighty students, the curriculum and its delivery are continually challenged by the 'new world' of imaging and the needs of the increasingly diversified industry where its graduates are finding employment. This paper reports on a recent self-study of the programme and examines the future directions for educating tomorrow's information imaging professionals. In particular, the paper evaluates the name of the department, which has become both an asset and liability in describing the programme to perspective students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper reports on the use of aerial photographs to study the social structure of a dairy farm neighborhood in St. Lawrence County, New York. The paper compares information from aerial photographs of farmsteads and farm work to data gathered in a sociological survey. I examine how the visual data compares to other sociological information; how photographs, in this research, amplify, supplement, or contextualize nonvisual data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This article presents information on various art exhibitions being organized in galleries in New York. Paper cups, opaque bottles and plain boxes: solidly painted in muted colors, these humble objects appear singly, in pairs or in small groups in Victor Pesce's mostly small paintings. Mr. Pesce's objects look slightly anthropomorphic. Simom Starling has devised a new suite of obscurely related objects and photographs whose theoretical interest is higher than its visual appeal. A massive sheet of steel, imported from Romania, rests on three air cushions.
