Culture Change and Human Cognition:

Dynamic Self-Reflexive, Self-Organizing
Nonlinear Patterns Reflected in:

1. Human Perception/Understanding
2. Symbolic/Material Representation

with resulting

4. Transformation of 1, 2, &3.

are shaped by complex interacting
variables including factors related to:

Individual Participant

(intra and inter individual factors)

Immediate Context

(psycho-cultural, visual-physical,etc.)

Larger Context

(historical, cultural, physical, etc.)

My model presented in NY to SIGGRAPH Conference and later published in Understanding Digital Imagery draws
upon Template Two - View IV.

Template Three: Transforming the Context

Context For Perception & Understanding

Individual World
Immediate Context

Psycho-Cultural Climate within the Immediate Environment
Visual-Physical Environment, Immediate and Surrounding

Larger Context: Social, Cultural and Historical

Observable Processes

Symbolic Representation, Delineation in Material Form
Presentation, Expression, Communication
Evaluation, Feedback and Transfer

Transformations of Context (resulting from interactions of context and processes)

Individual World
Immediate Context

Psycho-Cultural Climate within the Immediate Environment
Visual-Physical Environment, Immediate and Surrounding

Larger Context: Social, Cultural and Historical
