National Vending Gallery: Topic No. 3 Peripheral Vision
National Vending Gallery: Topic No. 3 Peripheral Vision
While we are well able to “look”, as a means to direct our eyes in a particular direction, to "see" requires our vision to work with our imagination to develop an awareness for the thing we are looking at that. A perceptive sense of observation as such is indispensable when we search for purposeful and imaginative insights to inspire, particularly in design research.
National Vending Gallery: Topic No. 3 Peripheral Vision presents a collection of "seeing" documented in the print format. These books demonstrate good peripheral vision, where a single subject is seen through multiple divergent lenses – shifting attention to vision that occurs outside typical points of fixation. By enriching observation with imagination, these thoughtful publications inspire readers to unravel common, yet unapparent attributes of everyday life – from socks, prison food, vegetation, the haze, and even stray cats.
Learn more about the intentions and creative processes behind some of the featured books at the accompanying webinar - The Look and Feel of Things.
Organised by the DesignSingapore Council and supported by the National Design Centre.
