Drawing myself without a mirror: the presence of the artists in the work of art.
This seminar was about perception and drawing the world in actuality from the perspective of the artist. This would include:
- Double vision.
- Blind spots.
- The almost egg shaped image seen through ones own perspective.
- The intrusion of the nose on our line of vision.
- The blurred imagery of the peripheral vision.
These lines of research were presented and covered through looking at different attempts of visualising looking at the world from the individuals' point of perception such as artists, films ( Being John Malkovich:1999) and games.
I feel this is an interesting line of enquiry and one to consider whilst making my future exoskeletons'. Maybe to perceive the world not through my own eyes but though the eyes of my mechanical creatures.
