“This whole tired question of the correspondence between words and the world stems from a simple confusion between epistemology and the history of art. We have taken science for realist painting, imagining that It made an exact copy of the world. The sciences do something else entirely — paintings too, for that matter. Through successive stages they link us to an aligned, transformed, constructed world.” - Latour, B., 1999. Pandora's Hope, Harvard Univ Press, p. 78
