Abstract
![CDATA[Images are playing an increasingly important role in visualising ecologies in our complex, designed world. Yet what of the ecological and ontological character of images themselves? This short paper offers a proposition for understanding the image beyond representation as a dynamic form of design that takes hold of eye and mind, and that is as capable of violence and ecological destruction as any material form. Ecology of the image designates a critical and reflexive engagement with the environments we have designed for ourselves - including the environment of signs - but it also points to the crucial role of meaning making and image creation in the broad project of Sustainability.]]
