Abstract
Images play an integral role in communication and visual consciousness. They educate us through their mediated, multiplying, and selected frames and act as a central means in determining with whom we identify and whom we consider "other." Today, the digital saturation of images blurs the border between the real and the unreal. It diminishes the distinction between our public and private spaces and has made us both subject and image-maker. We are all consumers and participants in the world of images. To See and to Look calls attention to the mediums of photography and video, inviting us to consider the power and effects of images upon our visual perception. It asks the viewers to be conscious of their own activities of seeing and how digital technologies are shaping their patterns or habits of viewing.
