"If movement is a series of positions and change a series of states, time is made up of distinct parts immediately adjacent to one another. No doubt we still say that they follow one another, but in that case this succession is similar to that of the images on a cinematographic film: the film could be run off ten, a hundred, even a thousand times faster without the slightest modification in what was being shown; if its speed were increased to infinity, if the unrolling (this time, away from the apparatus) became instantaneous, the pictures would still be the same."

The “eye of the imagination” radiates a tableau of images: thought-pictures or phantasmata, as Aristotle called them, envisioned by human consciousness. The inner eye, as figured by Robert Fludd, does not receive images: it projects them onto a screen that lies beyond the back of the head, floating in a space that does not exist except in fantasy.

Further pondering on the dialectics of "blur" v/s "clear"in the fields of vision, Sam Renseiw captured blurry footage appearing from the Copenhagen waterways.
