Questions About This Episode

What is Escaping the Visuality Trap: Seeing Beyond What We've Been Taught to See. Episode 36 (Possibility Studies Network Series) about?

"We have the need to be a part of a group. This is human. But it is different - belonging vs fitting it. We can belong, but if we fit in we cut off parts of ourselves. And this is all about the need to see what we do unconsciously to ourselves. That is the point of visuality exploration - to really see." Do we see "reality", or do we see only what we are exposed to, layered with our expectations of what we are going to see based on the conditioning of our past? Visual anticipation is very real, and the result is what art historian and UNESCO Chair Vicky Karaiskou calls "the visuality trap". This trap obscures the myriad of possibilities that there might be in any given moment as we filter what is available to be seen through the lens of what we have been conditioned to be allowed to see. In this conversation host Sarah Knight is joined by guest co-host David Mattson and Dr. Vicky Karaiskou. Dr. Karaiskou is UNESCO Chair on "Visual Anticipation and Futures literacy towards Visual Literacy" and Associate Professor in Art History at the Open University of Cyprus. This is the sixth conversation in the Possibility Studies Network Series. More on Vicky and on her website (coming soon) Possibility Studies Network Sarah David's blog
