Visualization is one of the most consequential game changers in all contemporary sciences. It changes how we encode knowledge in a medium and how we decode it in the process of reception. By doing so the structure of knowledge itself is changed. This is particularly evident in two areas: heuristics, in which hypotheses are derived from a first sketch of the empirical material, and narration, in which knowledge is passed on. The lecture deals with the basic structures of this fundamental change.
