As far as the vision blog goes, I think what the author is saying is pretty interesting. He makes many references, particularly in the first and second paragraphs about the vision of an infant. An infant’s mind is free and un-biased; at that age we experience everything through purely instinctual manners. I think what the author’s point is that when we get older; the way we see and form opinions becomes less based upon our own perception, and more about how we THINK we should feel. Or an even more extreme case is how we are so influenced by our surroundings and media we may not even realize we are being influenced, where as an infant is free of such influences. He has a great point on trying to keep our brains free of outside influence, but then again, that’s pretty impossible.
Kino Eye: I am confused as to whether this article is meant to be an actual advertisement to create an actual “kino eye” or is merely a fantasy. Regardless, Vertov’s article makes you imagine a world unlimited to human limits. I found his paragraph referring to the kino-eye’s “most advantageous sequence” to be particularly interesting; like how see things in an unorganized way because there is so much going on, where as a film or kino eye could tape everything in order and segments that make the most sense to the viewer.
