Society and social institutions creating invisibility through society as a , prison, through synoptical and panoptical effects, increasing somatic aberration of scopophobic affects of individual perception.
That is where social modeling in free societies becomes a presumed requirement.
The understanding of this concept relates to visual thinking and the existential problem dealing with the conflicting ways that phenomenology diverged between Husserl and Sartre has everything to do with it. They were trying to solve the solipsistic Nietzchean nihilism that left a very large empty space of despair.
Sartre disallowed Husserl’s reductive phenomenology, albeit the latter’s transcendentalism, but that implied a social structural base, as a requirement, and since that consisted of social Marxism, again there developing a new empty spatial void, a deconstructed one at that which had a political segment to its causal bearing. The vast empty , soul-less paintings of Chirico bear witness to it in the post fascist Italian neo-Platonic sense.
What should determine the vision of man’s solitary way to retain that poetic sense, which some assert to be both the keustone and the motherload of consciousness of self revelation of Itself to Itself, the Dasein?
No wonder Sartre came up with the Self Learned Man, a re constructed being who constructs a faux reality based on what can be acquired from all the disposed parts , carefully labeled and reserved for some dispossessed soul?
re:
Peter Weibel: ‘Pleasure and the Panoptic Principal’- this reference connects the sub premise with Wilhelm Reich"s suppositions.
Note: there is no direct cross reference between Peter Weibel and Wilhelm Reich, its note-worthy that Peter was the publisher of a magazine named ‘Orgone’.
Peter Weibel an Austrian foremost media artist had influence on a current female media artist-filmmaker who made a deeply psychological-philosophical film titled ‘Invisible Adveraries’ , by a woman filmmaker, Suzanne Widl.
The film has taken up many of the complex themes brought up by Peter Weibel as she also belongs to that school of Austrian visual thinkers.
The themes surrounding the ideas behind such concepts as alienation, fragmentation, big brother and subsequent fears, have not by any means been resolved. On the social consciousness level of modern-postmodern society ,on the whole. efforts by the beat generation, to make inroads,by way of visual arts, uniquely introducing the ’ cut up method’ ( a visual equivalent of James Joyce"s literal
free flow literary style), have taken up the slack between literal and figurative aspects of understanding. Whether the dissolution of societal triggering responses to the dissociation of early triball-from the current modern era"s life styles(of effected faster transportational and urban.changes), retains the quandry of ferreting out truth from fiction.
what’s ahead?
Is post modernism ,-assembled from remnants of bits and pieces of deconstructed artifacts , enigmatically inspected for points of adherence and fit, approximate the value and the position of vacuous spaces resulting?
Post modernism lacking a unified vision of this backward glance, is forced to construct a faux center, resembling one with the most appeal and utility .This is where it gets tricky, and where the visual trail comes up against the intersection of. apparent phenomena , creating hybrids , resembling both: fact and fiction,.This translates into the grey area where the gap between them makes understanding indistinguisable. At this minimum juncture, the bedrock thus created( by such hybrid) becomes both: the starting and the end point from where the necessity of certain belief arises.
The split between dejure and de-facto beliefs becomes the rationale to build a faux center by necessity, creating a relative objectivism , this is where we are today , bit where are we going tomorrow? We must leave this nausea filled atmosphere of doubt and incredulity
