| Exhibition is a Misssing Chapter of post gradual studies focused on perception, primarily on the relation between perception and the perceived world and the experience of the act of perception. Thesis Imageless mind is based on several complementary viewpoints from the fields of philosophy, neurobiology, aesthetics and art. It notices problematic concept of perception as a process during which the mind is looking at the image of the world. It emphasizes the fact that visual experience cannot be seen as a finished result of complex brain operations achieved by the centre of perception. On the contrary, visual experience consists in the very process of processing the perceived information. Our image of the world thus cannot be seen as something separate from our mind; something that can be looked at. An imageless mind is a mind that does not objectify. One cannot say that it has visual experience but rather that it creates visual experience. If we see the relation to the world as perceptiveness towards signs, the problem of perception can be viewed from the perspective of art. |
