Document Summary
Interpellation: you are recognizing yourself as among a class or group of people for whom the image"s message is intended. The idea that when you view something you view it as a part of a social class. Marcel-duchamp"s toilet in the museum proves the importance of context when viewing art of any image. Spectatorship is practiced in a multimodal and relational way of looking. Rene descartes studies vision and asserts that looking and thinking are interconnected. In the late 19c, the urban space was organized to make specular looking possible. Architecture and engineering form and technology produce new modern subject citizens. The interplay of the senses in these newly created cities was something totally unique. The architecture at the time also changed the way people saw . Opera houses with their two tiers and opposing sides. They could see the audience lower down, and also see each other across the way.
