Kino Eye

The Kino Eye is repeatedly compared to a camera, with the eye acting as the camera eye. What we see in the camera is similar to that of what we see in reality. Although the camera is continually perfected, we simply cannot improve our eyes to focus or zoom in on certain areas. Since the Kino Eye is more than just an eye, it is an extension of an eye or a mechanical eye. It challenges what is truly seen as visual representation. The human body is seen as a living camera, with legs to support the kino eye and mobility to move the kino eye from place to place. This comparison is quite unique and shows how similar humans are to cameras. Although we lack the technology of cameras, our discernment of reality is quite astounding.
