Week 4 Responce (White Cube)
The characterization of the combined process of perception inside the gallery delivered the roles of the Eye, Spectator, and other humanized parts of experience in a new light. In the chapter "The Eye and the Spectator," O'Doherty establishes the relationship of the individual in comparison to their experience inside the gallery to be a modernist experiment. The spectator becomes an inquisitive member to our contemplation and dissection of work. It simply watches and moves inside the space as though it's unsolved curiosity sorts out the ambiguity with obedience to the Eye, sort of as a substandard identity. He (as mentioned in probability as male) is conversely romanticized by his use in giving reflex, wonder, and persuasion to the Eye. The Eye is the superior in this relationship in the way we can be trained to know and internalize in new ways. The eye is a window allowing you to understand what it resolves, if you are patient to it. It is the most vital organ in perception as a whole when it comes to art, especially abstract art. The Spectator and Eye work together to give us the gallery experience.
This humanized relationship in actuality is real to the human experience I know. I, as a person am mostly a spectator, devising my best mental copulation to decide upon when viewing art. My Eye tells me everything it can about the gallery space in comparison to the installation or viewed piece. With more and more time, the eye will allow the Spectator to finish any incomplete thoughts and put into realization any unanswered questions. The relation between the two is complete in expressing the importance and characterization of the body in sectors. This also dramatically approaches the Eye to be one of the body's most romanticized organs.
Are these really the only characterized parts of the experience? Do we have other parts of the body working in the same way, or does the spectator include senses such as audible perception, the activation of nervous system, and the smells that accompany the gallery space? Are the Eye and Spectator too broad as characters?
