La puissance des images croise Art X<\/em> (1952) de Ray et Charles Eames, George Nelson et Alexander Girard avec la Knowledge Box<\/em> (1962) de Ken Isaacs, deux p\u00e9dagogies r\u00e9volutionnaires de l\u2019art et du design par l\u2019image. H\u00e9riti\u00e8res des dispositifs immersifs de projections du XIXe si\u00e8cle d\u2019une d\u00e9mocratisation du savoir \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle, ces avalanches d\u2019images exp\u00e9rimentales proc\u00e8dent par un court-circuit des raisonnements inductifs, l\u2019abolition des fronti\u00e8res entre les disciplines, et entre les champs de la connaissance et de l\u2019apprentissage. Loin d\u2019\u00eatre des cas d\u2019\u00e9tude du pass\u00e9, elles tentent de contrecarrer la perte d\u2019attention li\u00e9e aux s\u00e9ductions technologiques de la vision et leur impact, une pr\u00e9occupation dont nous faisons l\u2019exp\u00e9rience encore aujourd\u2019hui.<\/p>\n
