Voyeur

I would have to agree that the artist group of scenes in voyeur was by far the most intriguing and chilling. When I first looked at the scene i was uninterested as it looked relatively normal, but watching it a while certainly changed my view.
What I found interesting about it was the way that the project made me notice the inferences that films force us to make. Just as a our eyes automatically take a series of quickly flashed images and make it into motion, our minds fill in the blanks (when the characters are not in the rooms, what the people are saying that we cannot understand). This was accomplished by offering us a omnipotent point of view, one that goes through walls, yet leaving some parts of the plot to take place in an arena invisible to us. Violence takes place behind the walls, yet I can only see the anticipatory stage and the phase after it, not the part i actually DO want to see.
At the same time, this small flaw in our sweeping view also sets the media up to shock me, as I cannot take in inputs that i normally can in the sounds. This was especially poignant in the part where the artist is tapping on the wall to lure one of his other audiences towards the wall. I couldnt hear or see clearly what he was doing, but was suddenly hit with the shock of seeing him with his gun. It seems strange that in film one can portray a variety of different views, so why should we only be able to see one field at a time, or what criteria should be used to decide WHICH fields we do see.
