[The Press and Journal @pressjournal]

A university professor has lashed out at a council funded arts venue for putting “fame” above local talent. https://t.co/TtgB8dPx3d

Excellent take on the selfie, and nice narration to go with it :)

[Marita Cartwright @MaritaCartwrig1]

@IntroVisCult Oh crap, I just realized that I didn't upload the picture. I did it in an earlier Tweet that you can see if you click my name, but I forgot the hashtag in it, so I had to make a new one... and then forgot to upload the picture. I'll upload it again here. #FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Very interesting take on the assignment - indeed, the eyes and the hands are linked!

[Marita Cartwright @MaritaCartwrig1]

@IntroVisCult 'The Power of the Gaze': I hold in my hand a figure I (badly) carved myself. I formed it with my hands, but so too do I form it with my eyes; my perception and judgment of it is mine and mine alone, and thus, I have power over it. #FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Excellent - indeed, the gaze is all around and you have captured it perfectly!

[Maggie Gunhus @GunhusMaggie]

@IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn I feel this picture represents the power the gaze has, because a gaze can see you from all around. Just like how this reflects my image to more people. Week 5 tweetsignment.

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Indeed! Very postmodern! :) Great shot!

[Maggie Gunhus @GunhusMaggie]

@IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn postmodernism at its finest! Week 7 tweetsignment.

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

In some ways a double selfie...your actual hand and a reflection of the hand...

[Amy @amyjenfilms]

A selfie that critiques or interrogates the notion of a selfie, taken at the Escher Museum @IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn https://t.co/PVqZHXnrK4

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

What a fascinating image....and we become voyeurs into that scene....gazing at them...

[Miranda Miller @mirandamxrie]

“The Gaze”
#FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Interesting double image! Well done!

[Ryan Raitt @ryan_raitt]

@IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn Critiquing the notion of a selfie, with 'The Gaze' added in for good measure

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

That is a very interesting comparison! Indeed, the concept of a 'selfie' has existed long before smartphones!

[Marita Cartwright @MaritaCartwrig1]

@IntroVisCult "Interrogating the notion of a selfie":

A picture of my fingers (the only evidence of 'myself' in the photo), and some writing on a wall symbolizing the quest for permanence that selfies affirm. Selfies can be a modern version of writing 'X Was Here'. #FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

A fascinating and compelling image!

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

I have to admit, I cannot resist the soulful gaze of a pup!

[JB @JB89568595]

The power of the gaze can be used by more than just us humans to convey a sense of want or need, for example, food. #stillhungry #FS1008abdn @IntroVisCult

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Interesting...what do you think? Is it a selfie?

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

The male gaze captured perfectly!

[Bogna @Bogna84961785]

#FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Indeed, where is the real 'you' - filter or no filter? Public or pajama self?

[Maggie Gunhus @GunhusMaggie]

@IntroVisCult

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Yes, so many gazes! And who has the power???

[Maggie Gunhus @GunhusMaggie]

@IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn the power of the gaze. So many gazes in one room.

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

So true! We are in the panopticon!

[Martina Ferretti @namixart]

You can never know when, where or why someone might be watching you.
@IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Interesting! Can you explain the glass of water?

[I Need This For Uni @INeedThisForUn1]

#FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Very interesting! A selfie within a selfie?

[olga :P @visualculture99]

a selfie of a selfie? @IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Fascinating! All the things that get in the way of a clear view of ourselves....

[Keyser Söze @IAmGarmonbozia]

@IntroVisCult #FS1008abdn

[Intro2VisualCulture @IntroVisCult]

Very interesting! And one gaze is non-human....perhaps a cyborg??

[LydiaGSchool @school_lydia]

@IntroVisCult A mirror selfie that captures three points of view and three different gazes. #FS1008abdn
