Abstract

Based on the classic eye tracking experiments of Russian psychologist Alfred L. Yarbus, which sought to determine visual attention by measuring eye position and eye movement, our paper posits an embodied empirical foundation for cognition, based on the Bergsonian concept of the image, contra the still widely-held, full-frame photographic conception of vision. Coupled to the thought of Spinoza, James, Bergson, Simondon, and Deleuze and Guattari, we aim to produce a speculative model of visual perception that harmonizes affective metaphysics with the production of concepts through vision.
