The Art of Vision is a formalist exercise that intentionally bypasses social constructs like race, gender, and class. Instead of focusing on external representations, it delves into the internal mechanics of perception. By using abstract montage and rhythmic editing, it challenges the viewer's passive consumption habits. While it lacks specific characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity, its rejection of established cinematic hierarchies serves as a precursor to postmodernist inquiries into visual authority. It is a study of pure perception where identity is secondary to the mechanics of sight.

A deconstruction of Dog Star Man that takes the four rolls and shows them first combined, then each combination of three rolls, then each combination of two rolls, then each individual roll.
