A Multicentric Critique beyond Infographics," edited by Erna Fiorentini, forthcoming with LIT Verlag Berlin 2023.
As an invitation to explore the all-encompassing term "visualization" from a new vantage point, this book suggests a topological approach to identify individual domains in the global stream of visualization practices and intentions. Here, particular and often hidden, partly non-visual or non-visible forms emerge as individual, distinct modes of visualizing that go beyond infographics as the idea informing most of the today understanding of visualization. These modes offer frames in which to put the phenomenon of visualization with a view to notions more appropriate to the plurality of its manifestations.

It is far more complex, as it is constituted by our presence in that space, by the way we experience it and by the way in which we project our own experience, our memory and expectations onto it. This kind of experience exceeds the plain physiological and cognitive perception of the physical space. It is a wide-ranging, individual, in every way private experiencing and perceiving that first turns nature into landscape. This quality of landscape as experienced space is palpable in the history of landscape images and their practices from the 18th century onwards. In as dissimilar media as sketches and photographs, the success of such images persists until now. For them, I propose in this paper the idea of "Erlebnisraumbilder; – "images of experienced space."

From change in area fraction of the liquid phase with Zn content, boundary composition between Lϩa and a regions at 673 K was estimated as about 6.7 mass% Zn. Resistivity of a specimen containing 7.8 to 8.6 mass% Zn increased with descending temperature treatment starting from 673 K and saturated at 633 K. Treatment at 613 K, the reported eutectic temperature, prolonged for 602 ks gave a nearly same saturating resistivity which suggested a maximum equilibrium solubility of Zn to Mg to be about 8.5 mass%. Details to be paid attention are described for resistivity measurement of large cross section specimens requiring a large electric current to generate enough electromotive force. When the resistance was measured in liquid nitrogen, effect of Joule heat was scarcely observed. The heating effect was clearly observed when the resistance was measured in a kerosin bath. Even in this case, the effect can be eliminated easily by extrapolation of square of current versus measured resistance plots to zero current.

As an invitation to explore the all-encompassing term "visualization" from a new vantage point, this book suggests a topological approach to identify individual domains in the global stream of visualization practices and intentions. Here, particular and often hidden, partly non-visual or non-visible forms emerge as individual, distinct modes of visualizing that go beyond infographics as the idea informing most of the today understanding of visualization. These modes offer frames in which to put the phenomenon of visualization with a view to notions more appropriate to the plurality of its manifestations.
