We live in a world filled with
images, our minds are flooded with incredibly diverse visual
impressions: natural and artificial, self-made and performed. Most of
these images are not perceived consciously. The objective of the EU-project
partnership, under the guidance of the Liechtenstein Art School, was to
compile an art "survival-package" to prepare us for surviving the
everyday image jungle. The "learning to see" learning- package is not
only applicable to specialists, teachers, students and museum personnel
but to all those who recognise conscious seeing as a basic cultural
technique but have not experienced it themselves. Basic skills in seeing are taught
from a subject specific angle by the project partners. A picture-book,
a text-book and two compact discs with film clips taken from
contributions to the video art awards, as well as interactive teaching
and learning materials are designed to wet your appetite for images.
We have neither the time to "read" them, nor are we aware of their
psychological effects. We are, therefore, easily manipulated and
seduced through our eyes.The benefit of being able to read and write
word bound texts and to master foreign languages is quite clear.
