What this episode covers

We live in a world saturated with images. We see—but do we really look? In the first episode of ARTASK INSIGHT, I explore the role of visual education and why the ability to look consciously is more crucial than ever.Inspired by W. J. T. Mitchell’s question What Do Pictures Want?, I reflect on whether images have their own agency and how they shape our perception of the world. I also delve into the work of Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra, whose portraits capture moments of transformation—revealing the power of the act of looking.Why do some images make us anxious? How does the fear of seeing operate? And most importantly—can looking lead to change?Join me in this first episode of ART ASK INSIGHT as I unpack these questions and more.P.S.
