Both of these articles come from a standpoint that the kino-eye
always sees the world in a perfect manner that the human eye is essentially
numb to.
“The kino-eye lives and moves in time and space; it gathers
and records impressions in a manner wholly different from that of the human
eye,” Vertov said.
I believe that the camera has a perfect depiction of the
subject it’s capturing. The lens has an unbiased filter that humans do not have,
giving purer characteristics to what the camera can see verses what humans can
see. Although in theory the kino-eye seems perfect. The camera can also show
different perspectives of a subject portraying the truth, but giving the
subject a different meaning. The human eye does this naturally by revealing
different subject matter and meaning to an image based on experiences and
knowledge.
The kino-eye projects the reality, and the human-eye depicts
the true meaning through perspective.
But is the kino-eye ever truly untouched and unprejudiced if
we are manipulating it to show us what we want to see?
“In the present time a very few have continued the process
of visual perception in its deepest sense and transformed their inspirations
into cinematic experiences,” Brakhage said.
