With Ghislaine Chabert, we organized in 2008 in a research group of the University Savoie Mont-Blanc in Annecy (France) a first international event on visual methods entitled “Visual and sensory methodologies to research and represent hypermedia and virtual practices. Dorle Drackle (DE), Edgar Gomez Cruz (ES), Francesco Lapenta (DK), Sarah Pink (UK), Izabel Meister (BR), José da Silva Ribeiro (PO) and Giuseppe Losacco (IT) were present. It was an opportunity to discuss in scientific terms the research works in social sciences made up of both written documents and audiovisual productions (film; website; video game; hologram; application; etc.). The first objective of this Web site is to contribute to the continuation of the epistemological discussion on these visual and digital methods which evolve. For that, it is necessary to preserve works, in a context of fast obsolescence of the software and difficulties of the research groups and the libraries to archive correctly these works. This is why we try to preserve works that we have directed or co-directed, despite the disappearance of some productions. This site takes the name of a multidisciplinary exhibition that took place in 2011 at the University of North Texas in Dallas Denton (USA): visualdistance.com Jacques Ibanez Bueno - Full Professor
