Ways of seeing: Materiality and grace in Wim Wenders's Road Movie Philosophy by René Arcilla: Introduction to the suite of papers.

A different way of seeing, in the work of René Arcilla, contains the possibility for a different way of being. For Arcilla, it matters whether and how we attend to what is visually presented to us. He developed this idea in his earlier work, Mediumism (2011), in which he proposed that modernist visual arts, particularly artwork that draws attention to the medium in which it is conveyed, could invigorate a new form of liberal education. In his most recent book, Wim Wenders's Road Movie Philosophy: Education without Learning, he has fulfilled the promise that a distinctive form of visual experience could constitute an education that liberates.
