I found Dziga Vertov's article to be quite interesting. I love how he explained the kino-eye and how sometimes technology is becoming better than our natural senses. Think about an insect for example.. we cant possible zoom in and look closely at the detail and inspect the life of something so small. However, camera lenses are able to zoom in and see what we are unable to see without disturbing the natural habitat. For that, I can appreciate the technology. The camera also has the ability to show us things from multiple angles, faster than we could naturally.
I liked the article and loved his take on how mankind has essentially perfected God's work.
I also liked Brakhage, I have always been fascinated with how the mind works and the visions we keep in our memory. So even in dreams we see things, though our eyes are closed.
