If we don't see like a camera (and, we don't), then how do we see? How do we make images? How do we visualize? Here is an exploration mutating memories, changing self definitions, the myth of photoraphic memory, and an investigation into how much of our sight is biological and how much cultural? Do we learn to see like we learn to read? Can we transcend our own cultural vision to see more biologically or to see particularly (across cultures)? How does our own culture vision define us, construct us, and reconfigure our biological vision? What are we blind to? What have other cultures been blind to? What limits our vision?

How did the collective forces of Philosophy, Science, Psychology, Literature (especially Poetry) and Art combine in the later 19th century to invent modern art, especially as synthesized through the painters Delacroix, Monet, van Gogh and Cezanne? What caused massive cultural disbelief in existing aesthetic standards in later 19th Century? How were the new criteria set for the 20th and now 21st Century? What old standards do we still cling to? What are the standards we now embrace? What qualities of personality, forces of history, developments of science and quirks of circumstance combined to give us modern art? Is there an analogous movement today with a new definition of art, and who should be the leaders?
