“To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
TL;DR
In this quote that I came across and found interesting, Nietzsche describes ‘seeing’ not as a rudimentary reflex, but a series of processes that one can assume control of. The quote kind of describes what I want to achieve with my project – through awareness and the subsequent command of obstructing and isolating instincts (perception), gain control of one’s seeing.
