  1. A woman stands before a blue screen in a museum.
    The image asks who is allowed to look, and how meaning is shaped by the place that frames the act of seeing.

  3. “Seeing comes before words”*…

    Five years ago, (R)D featured John Berger’s award-winning– and more to the point, hugely-influential– television series Ways of Seeing (in some ways a response to Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation series). The broadcast was followed by an adaptation of Berger’s scripts that became a book of the same name.

    Now that hugely influential work is available in a gorgeous web version…

    Based on the 1972 BBC series and comprised of 7 essays, 3 of which are entirely pictoral, Ways of Seeing is a seminal work which examines how we view art…

    A beautiful new way to enjoy (and learn from) a classic: “Ways of Seeing

    * John Berger (the first line of Ways of Seeing)

    As we ponder perspective, we might pause to celebrate the induction, on this date in 2005, into the the National Toy Hall of Fame of a plaything that invites constant creativity– the cardboard box.

  5. A little fast #sketch I made a while back. Reposting here, hoping to build a #new #social #network. Looking for other #artist to #connect hoping to build an #inspiring timeline of people making #beautiful things or a beautiful diffrence.

  6. [Side note related to previous post] Another thing I find really curious is how artists convey the world through their art in a way that's related to the way they perceive it. I remember seeing a photograph taken by an artist that usually drew humans with thin, long limbs. The photograph showed the shadow of a person at dusk, and the projection on the ground had elongated, thin limbs, similar to those of his drawings. #art #WaysOfSeeing

  7. “What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. ... In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportsmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.”
    ~ John Lubbock

  9. Etter at «Ways of Seeing»-kritikerne gikk på et knusende nederlag i tingretten, fortsetter Christian Tybring-Gjedde med usannheter og avsporinger.

    Sterkt og viktig innlegg i Dagbladet.no fra Hanan Benammar, medforfatter til teaterstykket Ways of Seeing. Selv skulle jeg nok gjerne ha lest det første og ikke-dempede utkastet til denne kronikken.

  10. Den største villfarelsen om Ways of Seeing er at det representerer et angrep på privatlivets fred



    Overvåking som en neoliberal synspraksis er et kjernetema i Ways of Seeing. Det er tydelig at Pia Maria Roll og hennes kolleger har fingeren på pulsen her. For eksempel utkom Shoshana Zuboffs monumentale studie The Age of Surveillance Capitalism bare uker etter at stykket hadde premiere. Meanwhile, i Oslo, går man bananas over noen husfasader som er relativt ubetydelige.

    Interessant og opplysende innlegg om fjorårets mest omtalte teaterstykke.

  11. Noen tanker jeg har gjort meg rundt Ways of Seeing og teatret som foregår i rettssal 250 i Oslo tinghus.
