John Berger's groundbreaking 1972 work, Ways of Seeing, revolutionized how we understand art and visual culture. But his insights are even more relevant today, in a world saturated with digital images. This video explores how Berger's concepts – the male gaze, mystification, publicity, and the relationship between images and power – apply to everything from Instagram filters and NFT art to influencer culture and algorithmic control. We'll unpack how images manipulate us, how the "digital gaze" shapes our perceptions, and how we can reclaim our visual autonomy in an age of constant surveillance and curated realities. Join us for a deep dive into Berger's legacy and learn to see the digital world with a critical eye. Discover the hidden mechanisms that influence your desires, your beliefs, and your very sense of self. Are you truly seeing, or are you being seen? Let's find out. #johnberger #waysofseeing #visualculture #digitalculture #malegaze #mystification #publicity #glamour #algorithms #socialmedia #instagram #tiktok #nfts #art #criticism #perception #reality #power #control #influence #technology #capitalism #philosophy #motivation #life #selfimprovement #selfawareness #growth #freedom #democracy
