response to Metaphores in Vision and the Kino-Eye

These writings seem to me to be a call and response to each other. Brakhage being the one to call, here for an eye unfettered by the laws of manmade physics and time, while Vertove responds with an army of publishing kinoks, each one using the technology of modernity to reach beyond time and physics to bring forward a new type of visual learning and stimulation. The kino-eye of Vertov's writings describe the output, or recording genius of the artist point of view, carefully tweaked to punctuate an emotional response from its audience. The new methods of moving picture and recorded sound together become the newsreel of the new media directors who manipulate the masses with their cunning. While the undertones of Vertovs motives may seem revolutionary, they also seem to be in opposition to the futurist movement which he even names in his prose as he promises to thwart their intentions with a flood of these kino-eye responses to any action the futurist agenda may take.
