Ways of Seeing- Video Reflection



Ways of Seeing~Video Reflection



    This show gave viewers an understanding to questions about hidden ideologies with images. We currently see pieces as they’ve never been seen before. The process of seeing is not spontaneous. Our mind reads images from habit and other reasons. According to the narrator, perspective is our eye into the world around us. The eye can only see so much. It can only understand a limited view. With the camera a completely new dimension to perspective was created. Appearances changed in front of the camera. It caused the true formation of objects to be known. That our eyes don’t always see objects as accurately as a camera. 
    A fresh perception can be formed by using the camera’s eye rather than a person’s. With different camera movements a portrait can even turn into a landscape photo that shows the serene of a grassy plain. Details from photographs gives the viewer elements simultaneously. There’s no pause time. The meaning of images can easily be changed depending on what’s related to the image. A really good example of man’s perception is the point on channel changing. Meanings of works can easily be changed to suit different needs and experiences.
