The transformation of our sensibility and knowledge through visual media Focusing on specific uses of visual media and their reception, I research how visual media can transform our sensibilities and perceptions. 1. Technical History of Special/ Visual Effects in Film 　　Focusing on special effects, which have been marginalized in film history and film studies as "special", this research project examines the historical transition of the medium of film. Specifically, this research traces the history of the development of special effects technology and examines the role that special effects and the images through them played in cinema by analyzing the application of such technology to film works and their acceptance by audiences through textual analysis as well as discourse analysis of the same period. 2. A Theoretical Research on Visual Culture in the Age of SNS 　　This research theoretically examines the recent image environment in which the boundaries between various media have been fluidized and the forms of reception have been transformed through the development of digital technology. In particular, this research investigates the impact of the change in the position of the viewer on the formation of the culture of images, as the production, presentation and reception of images became easier.
