Abstract/Summary

Most of what is known about visual perception in humans is due to empirical work relying on computerised display. In this position paper, we argue that this technology does not permit the investigation of the enactive processes that support visual experience. We discuss the requirements for investigation of situated, embodied interaction of an observer with an observed scene, and introduce the Diasynchronoscope, an art-form technique that permits the exploration of perception in situ. For the enactive paradigm to be successful, we argue, researchers need to be aware of the biases introduced by the technology used in empirical work, and explore alternative ways to probe enactive cognition.
