The making of the observer

This essay is about the extension of human perception through technical manipulation. It focuses primarily on the description of visual perception. The ways in which technical extensions also lead to an extension of the possible spaces of action for a receiv-ing subject are investigated. Promising research results and inten-tions are presented here, but in the future the focus will be on our own technical experiments, allowing us to explore the connection between visual perception and the resulting possibilities for ac-tion, such as the feedback scheme between recipient and actor.
