What is imagination and the elements it consist of? Could the freedom in the imagination help us to be free truly? When we recognize imagination and reality, images function as a medium, which is not only the sum total of visual material but also mixed expression of individuals’ feeling, experience, and memory. Images ought to be called consciousness not material. In the huge storage that we call reality, a lot of elements which are potential images seem to change into images including individual feeling, experience, and own memory through imagination. This is the same as the relationship between material and a work of art, so material-landscape, experience, five senses, and so on- could turn into an art work through the imagination which is human’s special ability.
Through the images formed this way, we can recognize the world around us and can consist of own individual worlds in the imagination, where we are free without limitation of time and space.
Furthermore, image influences heavily in the groups out of individual usage. Long ago, the power of reproducibility of images was used by the ruling class and the images of utopian leaders have the same aim and the changes in reality. Development of technology has turned out better through imagination, and it guides the future of human race. |
