Reading Quiz - What The Eye Does Not See

“The link (with the human eye and its usual optical radius)... is not really needed” - Ossip Brik "What the Eye Does Not See"

The concept of the "link between the human eye and its usual optical radius is not really needed" in terms of photography and film is due to the limits one faces when things are only viewed by "the human eye" or at "eye-level". These two mediums (film in particular, and later on in photography) have been able to transform the way we look at different objects.  They capture moments or views that our eyes can't see or even process with out the help of these mediums at a radius that our naked eye can't view on it's own.  In film and in photography, we don't need to use the connection with our eyes and our optical radius, the camera can act on it's own when we simply change the angle in which the camera is placed.
