Summary/Abstract: In this text, by using the concepts of Rene Descartes, Brauch Spinoza and Gotfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the concept of human view in the early modern period have been tried to clarify. Shortly after these philosophers, the works of the thinkers who tried to formulate the mechanical aspect of the gaze and the laws of thought were expressed. After the invention of phptograph, which is different from the representative image and can produce technical image independently of the human eye, the human perspective has enriched and gained new forms of vision. In this study, it is stated that people will have different perspectives and think by using apparatus such as camera, cinema and video which produce technical image. The cinema, which can record the motion picture, was able to create its own narrative with the participation of sound. The video device, which emerged about 70 years after the cinema and can imitate the narrative of the cinema, has been used in many fields of our time, but has created a unique narrative. In this study, the use of video in art and science and its proximity to subjectivity have been defined and the potential of the innovations that it can provide to visual forms has been clarified. It is claimed that we can see with the video that produces technical image and think differently with this device.
