When science and medicine were ignoring the AIDS crisis, ACT UP used visual campaigns such as performances, sit-ins, videos, posters, and flyers to distribute accurate health and science information about AIDS transmission. ACT UP's use of images to get individuals and the mainstream media to pay attention to the crisis forever changed scientific activism. The impact caused by ACT UP's use of visual culture, rather than other forms of transmitting information, most closely resembles what other example from the book? The nudity of the subject in the anthropometric study of a Chinese man was coded within a scientific discourse that established him as an object for cool and dispassionate study. Despite sonography being a "sound"-based system, the display of the information it gathers has been adapted to conform to photographic and video image conventions.
