Ways of Seeing
This video was very interesting, in part because it was an old film, but also because it mentioned things I really had not heard of before. With the invention of the camera, everything we knew about seeing changed. This video made a point about the fact that after a camera was invented, the whole world of imagery changed. The camera changed not only what we see, but how we see everything. Even paintings from pre camera era, were viewed differently after the invention of a camera. Because before a camera, we could view the painting in generally one location, after the invention of the camera, the paintings came to you. Often times these paintings defined the buildings they were located in, however now this was no longer, paintings were on the move.
