#OperationalImages

Is there any difference between the notions of #operative image and #OperationalImages ? I have seen both terms and am confused.

#Academic #DigitalHumanities #OperationalImages Where is the text which discusses how combining two separate digital collections means combining two different institutional ontologies?

Immediately after reading this I picked up Bateson's Mind and Nature, and soon came across this page, which - in the context of #OperationalImages - now reads as an early account of the operationality of images in the person-machine interface.

A page from Bateson's 'Mind and Nature' including this text: "Spaculation suggests that image formation is perhaps a convenient or economical method of passing information across some sort of interface. Notably, where a person must act in a context between two machines, it is convenient to have the machines feed their information to him or her in image form"
