The Story of Looking sees Mark Cousins prepare for surgery to restore his vision. Cousins explores the role that visual experience plays in our individual and collective lives. In a deeply personal meditation on the power of looking in his own life, he guides us through the riches of the visible world, a kaleidoscope of extraordinary imagery across cultures and eras. At a time when we are more assailed by images than ever, he reveals how looking makes us who we are, lying at the heart of human experience, empathy, discovery and thought. He shares the pleasure and pain of seeing the world, in all its complexity and contradiction, with eyes wide open. As the COVID-19 pandemic brings another dramatic shift of perspective, he reaches out to other lookers for their vision from lockdown, and travels to the future to consider how his looking life will continue to develop until the very end.

故事讲述比诺什扮演的法国女作家来到奈良，将与永濑正敏饰演的当地人开始一段跨越文化与语言的故事。

维京人（英语：Viking，丹麦语：Viking，挪威语：Viking，冰岛语：Víkingar）是诺尔斯人的一支 （斯堪的那维亚人），他们是从公元8世纪到11世纪侵扰并殖民欧洲沿海和英国岛屿的探险家，武士，商人和海盗。其足迹遍及从欧洲大陆至北极广阔疆域，欧洲这一时期被称为“维京时期”（Viking Age），在英语中，这个词是从18世纪的传奇故事中引入的，有一种说法认为可能是来源于古代北欧人的古北欧语语言，“vik”意思是“海湾”，“ing”意思是“从……来”，加起来“维京”意思是在海湾中从事某种事，“vikingr”是在海湾中从事这种事的人。另一种说法认为是来源于古英语“wíc”意思是“进行贸易的城市”，因为后来部分维京人定居到不列颠岛，并和当地人进行贸易。他们在公元800到1070年处于统治地位，对海上交通构成威胁。 “vikingr”这个词曾经出现在斯堪的纳维亚半岛的古代卢恩文石碑上面，在冰岛的土语中也意味着“海上冒险”。在英语中“wicing”这个词首先出现在6世纪的古代盎格罗-撒克逊的诗歌中，意思就是海盗，但当时英国人并没有将北欧海盗称为维京。在中古英语中“维京”这个词已经消失了，但18世纪时又重新出现在传奇故事中，到了20世纪，“维京”不仅指海盗，意义扩展为指斯堪的纳维亚人，并出现许多新词如：“维京时代”，“维京文化”，“维京殖民地”等。不要和valhalla混淆，那是维京人传统中天堂的意思。 由于后来斯堪的纳维亚人沿着芬兰、俄罗斯平原的河流从事商业活动直到东罗马帝国，并在河流沿岸设立殖民地定居，所以后来将来自斯堪的纳维亚的商人也称作维京，北美洲的斯堪的纳维亚人也被说英语的人称为维京。实际上并不是所有斯堪的纳维亚人都是海盗，他们和其他地区的欧洲人一样也是农民、渔夫和猎人，他们为了防止海盗入侵也成立了舰队，将所有的斯堪的纳维亚人都称为维京会造成混淆。 ——维基百科，维京人 Neil Oliver周游四方来搜寻关于被正史认为是一群肆虐在基督教大地上的嗜血海盗的维京人 的真实历史。 第一集 Neil Oliver出发去往斯堪的纳维亚来揭示维京传奇背后的真相。在第一集中，Neil以维京人史前祖先的神秘世界为出发点。装满武器的战船的残骸，青铜时代的长发农民，以及位于瑞典的一个皇宫和令人毛骨悚然的异教仪式场所勾画出了一个远古时期的开端——维京时代。 第二集 Neil Oliver从斯堪的纳维亚出发去往俄罗斯，土耳其和爱尔兰来追寻一个能够像处理皮克特奴隶一样熟练地处理中国丝绸的巨大贸易帝国的开端。他发现了一个充满大眼晶晶的女仆和佛教雕像的世界，这跟英国经历中的挥舞着战斧的勇士的世界大相径庭（当然其中的有一小部分还是准确的）。 第三集 Neil Oliver通过追寻斯堪的纳维亚人的发现之旅，最先的丹麦国王，以及打开通往欧洲高等社会的皈依基督教来探索维京世纪是如何结束的。他也发现了英国国王Canute的真相 - 他并不是一位高傲的认为他可以阻挡一切变化潮流的领导者，而是统治一大片北方帝国的维京统治者以及最早的欧洲标准的接收者。

"Visual Training" is a short 1969 experimental film from the Netherlands. The film looks so ahead of its time, with its goth makeup and gritty look. I wonder if Marylin Manson or the band the Misfits have ever seen Visual Training? A man and two topless ladies sit at a table and eat. They grotesquely smear food on one another. The one girl is blindfolded and covered with baking powder by the guy. The screen sometimes turns black, as the camera cuts fast between shots. When the camera zooms in on the actor's face, it looks as if he's staring right at the viewer. The one girl's nude body is used as a canvas for body food art. Frans Zwartjes has a created a rare short film that's unique for viewers. It's like a mild version of the "Vienna Aktionists" for the surreal at heart.

In Visions of Space, Robert Hughes tackles the work and lives of three remarkable 20th-century architects: Antonio Gaudi, Albert Speer and Mies van der Rohe - whose work did so much to shape the modern world. Hughes looks at how each one used space in different ways to express our response, respectively, to the power of religion (Gaudi), the power of the State (Speer), and the power of the corporation (Mies van der Rohe). Albert Speer: Size Matters In 1979 Robert Hughes met and interviewed Hitler's architect, Albert Speer, for his landmark series, Shock of the New. Speer died shortly afterwards. Twenty-three years later Hughes discovered the long lost tape of that unique conversation and was inspired to travel back to Germany to examine the legacy of a man who was, for a brief period, the most powerful architect in the world. Mies van der Rohe: Less is More This episode features the German architect, Mies van der Rohe, who moved to America and discovered the face of the modern corporate city. In this highly personal account, Hughes follows in Mies' footsteps looking at how an architect who began his career making kitschy, Hansel and Gretel style houses with pointy roofs, little windows and squat floorplans transformed himself into the master of international modernism - the architect of light and space. Mies is the father of the contemporary vogue for loft living - what he was building in the 1920s still looks futuristic now. Similarly, his New York masterpiece the Seagrams Building provided the blueprint for the modern office building - without Mies no major city on Earth would look as it does. But despite his undeniable impact there is something in Mies' work that Hughes finds shockingly neglectful of real human needs. This master builder could spend days working out how to turn a corner with a skilfully placed beam and totally ignore the legitimate wishes and desires of those who used his buildings. Antoni Gaudi: God's Architect Robert Hughes returns to Spain to explore the legacy of Antoni Gaudi, the last great cathedral builder of the 20th century. Gaudi was an intensely Catholic celibate who, despite his austere life, created some of the most sensuous buildings ever known. On his journey through Gaudi's life and work, Hughes (an ex-Catholic himself) explains how a man as religious and conservative as Gaudi could become such an innovative 20th-century giant. About Robert Hughes Robert Hughes' perceptive views of the arts have led him to be one of the most esteemed and widely read art critics writing in English today. He has been awarded The Richard Dimbleby Award, by the Bafta for "the most important personal contribution to factual television" of 1996-97. He is the only art critic to have twice won America's most coveted award for art criticism, the Frank Jewett Mather Award. He has lived in Europe and America since 1964. He has never lost touch with his native country, in recognition of his services to Australian culture, he was elected an Officer in the Order of Australia (his country's highest civilian honor) in 1994.
