Abstract
This essay examines how meaning is subjectively derived from remotely sensed images of the earth obtained from airplanes or satellites. The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and the US build-up to war with Iraq in 2003 are used as case studies to demonstrate the dangers of ascribing a scientific objectivity to such imaging systems. The essay concludes by acknowledging the rhetorical nature of interpreting scientific images and calling for a more rhetorically informed perspective of such ostensibly logos-driven images.
