He draws our attention to the simple act of looking at a tomato. From whatever angle you observe, a side of it is always occluded. This is why the body, in its motor function, has such an important role to play in perception. The hidden side of the tomato is experienced as potentially available to perception because it is possible to move the eyes, the head, and the whole body, in order to view this other side. He notes, “My emphasis here is on a special kind of understanding that distinctly overwrites our _perceptual_ access to objects and properties, namely sensorimotor understanding.”[[3]](https://contempaesthetics.org/2020/07/16/urban-kinaesthetics/#_edn3) The proprioceptive sense of the body in motion and locomotion is an inherent component of visual experience, including the experience of the city. While the city as an object of perception might at first appear problematic because we cannot obtain a panoptic perspective of it, it becomes, in fact, a paradigmatic object of perception, if we adopt the view that all perception is necessarily embodied and that it presupposes sensorimotor engagement, that is, it requires some kind of motion (eye or head movement) or locomotion (walking from A to B) to be actualized. + - [Bertolt Brecht 1935 Questions From a Worker Who Reads](https://www.marxists.org/archive/brecht/works/1935/questions.htm) - https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210505-how-cities-will-fossilise - [[incubation.concepts.cities.invisible.design]]
