This is all we have. A fragment. Perhaps a flaw.
Perhaps an echo.
"This is what it looks like when one tries to see collective blurriness – and fails."
What we see here – or rather, fail to see – is not a representation of collective blurriness. It is the failed attempt to render it visible. And therein lies its power. For the image does not reveal what collective blurriness looks like. It reveals what happens when one tries to grasp it – and fails. That failure is not a shortcoming. Nor is it a technical glitch. It is an epistemic statement.
The image doesn’t work – because it refuses to work. It offers no clarity, no form, no object. It gives us no answer. Instead, it leaves us with a gap: a trembling residue of perception, neither reliable nor legible – but palpable. In a world where visibility has become the currency of truth, this image marks a refusal. It does not appear as evidence, but as disturbance.
The Notion of "Collective Blurriness"
A key moment is the idea of collective blurriness – a state in which perception, knowledge, and relation are not clearly defined, but ambiguous, porous, and diffuse. This blurriness is not understood as a deficit, but as a generative condition – a possibility to touch the invisible, the repressed, or the unrepresentable.
Collective blurriness thus becomes both an epistemic and political act: a form of resistance against hegemonic clarity
