Using the examples of a short film by Alejandra Canales which recounts the experience of torture, and the Abu Ghraib photographs, this paper examines the function of the image and its relationship to epistemology. How do we know what we see? And how might we rethink the orthodox function of the image in the age of digital technology? In attempting to answer these questions I argue that the production of virtual experience is a capacity of the human body, and that image making, like all genres of communication, is a practice in virtual community.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Garamond;"><br> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Garamond;" lang="EN-US">Dr Maria Angel belongs to the the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Communication Arts</st1:placename></st1:place> at UWS and is a member of the Writing and Society Research Group.
