Geometric Form in the Eye of the Beholder

Synopsis: Comprises a series of visual experiences from art and architecture. A ‘beholder’ superimposes her own geometric constructions on the scenes, which include buildings in Oxford and elsewhere. Some paintings depict the act of painting; some are in perspective and some are not; some are ‘retro-perspective’ and some are ambiguous.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
