HOW WE SEE


"The process of seeing is less spontaneous and natural than we tend to believe. A large part of seeing depends upon habit and convention. Perspective makes the eye the centre of the visible world. But the human eye can only be in one place at a time. It takes its visible world with it, as it walks. With the invention of the camera everything changed. We could see things that were not there in front of us, appearances could travel across the world."
