Virtual Perception
curated by Lawrence Dreyfus (France)
|
Let us forget the real in exchange for a new perception and electrify
our retinas. Let us look at those little things, apparently useless
things but so fundamental to life, and take a fantastic journey from
stardust to the world of the first Prague Biennale. Many factors alter
our perception of things and put them into new perspectives. We see
the lights that bounce off matter instead of being absorbed by it.
The eye behaves a bit like an alembic—it carries floods of light
outward that will irrigate the depths of our brain, but on the way
it turns them into electric waves that can be assimilated in order
to turn them into images within us. Vision is thus always born from
an interaction between eye and brain, and it is from this combination
that our familiar world takes shape. If things only exist in the light
of our perception, and our mind can intervene like a screen, how does
the world then appear to us? Is what we see reality as it is, or on
the contrary something deformed by our intelligence? Let our judgment
take over, let us close our eyes and put a screen before our view,
until we see the essential, chance, or beauty.
