Naked Eye is a magazine that explores the philosophy of perception, and the inextricable link between the visible and the invisible. It dives into the vulnerabilities of seeing — what we perceive, what we overlook, and how our eyes both reveal and deceive.
The goal of the magazine is to inspire a more profound and conscious way of seeing, by exposing our blindspots, sharpening perception, and deepening awareness. We cater to an audience who, like us, like to look beyond the immediately observable world.
When curating each issue, we seek diverse perspectives and intentionally blur the lines between science, philosophy, art, and personal insight. By avoiding rigid labels, we invite readers to interpret freely. We pair existing artworks with texts to reframe context, offering fresh meaning and new layers of reflection.
Issue 1:
Objects Too Big, Too Far for
the Eye to See
For this inaugural edition of Naked Eye, we went straight into the depths of the topics that form the backbone of this magazine: the philosophy, art, and science of phenomena too big for the eye to see. From time to hyperobjects, to phantom patterns and shifting baselines, this issue is an invitation to gaze directly at unseeable phenomena.
The Problem of Color
Issue two is themed around the problem of color — what we think we see, and whether we can trust it. At a baseline, this issue investigates whether we can trust what our eyes perceive when we see color. It approaches the phenomenon of color as an open question, and what it reveals about the nature of reality, both individual and shared.
Between the Eye and the Self
The third issue is about how we see ourselves, how we relate to ourselves, and what defines the boundary between “I” and the world. It explores the philosophy, the science, and the wisdomsurrounding the question of truly seeing ourselves. Between symbols and structures, impressions and distortions, the ways we perceive — and constrain or construct — ourselves in the mind’s eye matter deeply.
