Specialist note

“Vision is a form of intelligence, even more so than hearing… I have a theory that the intellect has evolved from our inability to see everything in focus; the eye has to move to see things and by doing so it introduces the concept of narrative and the attention that is necessary for any complex idea to form.”
– Vik Muniz, quoted in BOMB #73, Fall 2000.
