No. 24 (2023): OpenASRI. Miscellaneous Number

The issue compiles the work of 6 researchers who address topics ranging from fashion film, visual misinformation on social networks, scientific photography applied to herbaria to pedagogy from art and artists. These research works converge in the exploration of various aspects of image and art from multiple perspectives.

One of the essays highlights the role of color in fashionable audiovisual creations, showing how artists such as Sonia Delaunay and Eugenio Recuenco use visual technologies to express narratives in which color acquires a prominence comparable to that of the characters. Another text examines the phenomenon of misinformation on social networks, specifically on X (formerly Twitter). It addresses the issue of the spread of hoaxes in the context of migration, specifically in the Aquarius case, examining the spread of hoaxes through images manipulated or taken out of context, to support false information. The need for verification tools based on reverse image search is highlighted as a crucial measure to combat disinformation. The study on taxonomic photography in herbaria is another contribution that reveals the intersection between the classification of the natural world and its artistic representation and shows how the classification of the natural world has influenced both botanical photography and contemporary art. Furthermore, it proposes a critical re-reading of the representation of the plant kingdom, challenging the conventional perception of what is real and what is simulated through contemporary photographic projects. Finally, the pedagogical meaning of artistic disciplines is addressed from the artists' vision, demonstrating that beyond transmitting knowledge, these disciplines become tools that shape life philosophies, strengthen value systems, and generate a sense of freedom and passion. for artistic creation. Through a study with interviewed artists, it is possible to express how art contributes to the formation of their philosophy of life and strengthens our axiological system. Together, these works offer a comprehensive overview of the multiple dimensions of the image, from its function as a means of artistic expression in fashion to its role in contemporary misinformation and its influence on the visual representation of nature. These investigations focus on different aspects of image and art and converge to show how technology, visual representation, and artistic disciplines can influence each other, revealing new forms of expression and reinterpretation in the contemporary artistic field.

Thus, we say goodbye to the year by thanking, as always, the entire open knowledge community, the authors for trusting in the project, and above all, our tireless blind evaluators, without whom we would not be able to maintain the journal. We also say goodbye to the year with the entry of ASRI into two large evaluative databases: Redalyc; ICI Index Copernicus Master List
