eyesight as material --> affectivity as a reading of this material?

That article about blinking is really cool. This info about synchronized blinking inspires some pretty paranoid conclusions. I think this reveals the extent to which the visual sense is seen as the ultimate conqueror of space, the ultimate/unproblematic linking of navigation and mapping into an instantaneous procedure of traveling eye movement and a corresponding "true" knowledge of existing space and its components. And I think this new awareness of patterns of blinking and our accumulative blindness means that we begin to view eyesight as a representational strategy. I think this means we have a new relationship to eyesight as a type of material. Both the infallibility we accord to the eye as a navigating/mapping device and our new understandings of its lapses as such points towards a consideration of seeing as a representational strategy, a representation that the eyes (and brain) create for the mind. What I mean: in realizing that the eye fails to map all space by seeing (or that it doesn't see space, but that this space nevertheless exists, not just objectively but exists to us despite its not necessarily being SEEN), we begin to recognize sight as a certain material representation of a reality that eludes the senses, gesturing to us from elsewhere.
