Cowart_Kino Eye Response

I found it interesting how the eye or camera lens was referred to as more perfect than the human eye. I would have to disagree. I concede that a camera can be perfected and can capture detail that might otherwise go unseen but a video or photograph can't envelope you in space and surround you. The article talks about the camera being able to capture everything that is rapidly happening but what if the experience is meant to be overwhelming and rapidly fleeting. Capturing every detail seems to almost make the details less impactful. I see how being able to capture minute details and being able to control what the viewer seeing could be useful and open up new avenues for artistic choices but the physical experience shouldn't be down played.
