Contextualising "SARS-CoV-2 in technology and environment in science, engineering and art", the conference sought to exchange on researching current evolving technoscientific lifeworlds, on pandemic socio-technical environments, and on relations of transcultural political economies. Drawn on the various concerns running through the conference's lively variety of topics, the essay addresses problematic ways of scientific knowledge productions through visual materials. Mostly used decoratively, rarely adequately referenced, these materials reveal risky imprints. Consequently, it is well worth taking a closer look at where, how, and for which reasons visual materials are mobilized in academia.}, subject = {Visual essay; Visual methodologies; Zoonotic assemblages; Technoscience; Artistic research; Visueller Essay; Visuelle Methodologien; Zoonotische Assemblagen; Technikwissenschaft; K{\"u}nstlerische Forschung; K{\"u}nstlerische Forschung / Ingenieurwissenschaften}, language = {en} }
