Step 4: Disruption and Reiteration


Now that we have a new understanding of different viewpoints, we can reiterate and introduce dynamic variability to multiply available viewpoints even further. You can watch it again with eyes closed, gradually opening them controlling the light that gets through, or while doing an exercise, or standing, or from a different position in relation to the screen. You can imagine a lot of different other meanings, turn the screen upside down or switch off the sound. All of these actions can be done successively to induce variability in perceptual dynamics. The idea is to have as many points of view as possible that are available but to maintain only one of them at every moment of time. In a way, we are practicing what is called “ostranenie” by the Russian formalist Shkolvsky (or “alienation”) — in order to choose a new viewpoint that will provide us with a new entry into this situation. Then we can start again.
