In this issue: Observation 

"in the field of observation chance favours only the prepared mind" - Louis Pasteur

Issue #49 explores the power of observation, and considers how the eye, once a tool of understanding, has become a mechanisms of exposure, surveillance, and control. If seeing is positioned as an ethical act, this issue attempts to witness and attend rather to consume and judge. Features include the "invisible gorilla" experiment, "patient seeing" in science and art, duck or rabbit, the bystander effect, and much more.
