Vertov is the name of a director in the Soviet school who develops a system of universal variation to define "cine-eye," or camera as the instrument that is the pure vision of a non-human eye to unite any point in any order in the universe. Vertov introduces the idea that the cinematographic image moves beyond flowing to gaseous perception. For example, in the film "Bardo's Follies" a woman's floating image changes into flaming fire that gradually melts the film in bubbles to a gaseous state until the film screen goes black. "Cine-eye" is the term used by Vertov to describe the instrument that unites any point in any order in the universe. A camera is the apparatus that is pure vision of a non-human eye, and is fully objective. Gaseous perception is Vertov's term that describes his notion of cinematographic image beyond flowing and defined by molecular models as represented by the painter Seurat's pointillism. "Bardo Follies" illustrates the transitions from a woman's floating image to a flaming fire. The fire becomes a slow motion soft focus into melting celluloid and then into bubbles that dissolve in one another as a gaseous state until the screen turns black.
