About
Aurora Hoel (aka Aud Sissel Hoel) is Professor of Media Studies and Visual Culture at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). She received her PhD from the Faculty of Humanities at NTNU in 2005 for her dissertation on the formative powers of pictures.
Her research interests revolve around science images and technologies of vision, and branch out to topics such as photography, scientific instruments, symbolic mediation, visual thinking, medical imaging, and visualization.
In 2015-2017 she was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Humboldt University of Berlin, undertaking a project called Styles of Objectivity: Agency, Alignment and Automation in Image-Guided Surgery (IMAGUS).
Previously she was the PI of the interdisciplinary research project Picturing the Brain: Perspectives on Neuroimaging (2010-2014), funded by the Research Council of Norway. Some years ago Hoel conducted a project on photography used for identification and control, resulting in an exhibition and an authored book/catalogue.
An overarching aim that cuts across Hoel’s various projects is to develop what she has coined as a “differential” approach to images and mediating apparatuses more generally. Hoel has published several articles and chapters in books. She has co-edited two books on Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of technology, Ernst Cassirer on Form and Technology (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and Form og teknikk (Cappelen, 2006). More recently, she has co-edited a special issue of Interdisciplinary Science Reviews focusing on computational picturing. She is also co-editor of Visualization in the Age of Computerization (Routledge, 2014).
