This is a broad-ranging, cross-disciplinary collection of exciting and readable materials as diverse in content as Lipstick on the Bulldog (product design) and Masaccio's Bag of Tricks (3D graphics and Renaissance art), to Is Alligator Skin More Wrinkled Then Tree Bark? (visual textures) and Crossroads in Virtual Reality (philosophy of virtual worlds). The fourteen contributions contained in this volume are authored by artists, designers, scientists, psychologists, philosophers and educators. While diverse in content, the selections nonetheless focus on the basic underlying theme explored at the Conference on Understanding Images, which was held at the Manhattan Campus of Pace University in New York City and co-sponsored by the New York City Chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and Pace University's School of Computer Science and Information Systems. The Conference's theme was: how do we understand the complicated, interdisciplinary world of electronic imagery, and what are the means and techniques we employ to visually convey these images to others? These presentations not only pinpoint interesting and complex issues confronting researchers and practitioners, but they also define the problem domains and offer future solution strategies.

Understanding images
What a total waste of time. The Book of the Subgenius was a brilliant satire with actual historical information on the life of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. This book is little more than a long winded repetitious rant by some guys who were picked last during high school gym class and want to get back at all the good looking, popular people. All it preaches is hate. If not for the interesting pictures throughout I am sure I never would have finished it. Or at least it would have taken me much longer. But I'm sure I would have stopped. Or could have. If I had wanted to. But I chose not to. Because.
The author claims that the pictures have hidden subliminal messages that only Yetynsyn can see. Apparently the bulk of these messages boil down to "Send $30 to the Subgenius Foundation". I don't know, I certainly didn't see anything. I'm sure the SGF will put the $30 I sent to good use, but I sent it voluntarily, not because of some silly drawings. I'm not some fool that can be tricked into shelling out $30 for some lame clip art and a few cheap pamphlets. But where else could I get an 8x11 picture of "Bob" suitable for framing? I just felt I had to have it. As if my life had lacked meaning until I could sit and bask in the glory of "Bob" every day. I also bought a pair of boxing gloves, so now I can stare at "Bob" without risking scratching my eyes out. Instead I just stare until a punch myself unconscious trying to scratch my eyes out while wearing boxing gloves. They all laughed at my bloody, puffy face at "work", so I jumped off the Conspiracy hamster wheel. Screw them and the chocolate triceratops they rode in on! There's plenty of good food in the dumpster behind the Piggly Wiggly, and now I have all the time I need to collect Slack.
