The origin of the traditional image is to be found in human action, that is, in the gestures human beings make whilst 'doing things'. With his hands man can grab things that are 'out there', in the world surrounding him. When he grabs a thing he brings it to a halt, he steadies its position in a previously ever moving world and is thus able to perceive it with his eyes - even if just for a moment. This "co-ordination of hand and eye, of acting and perceiving, of theory and praxis is a main theme of being". [Bram Ieven, 2003; Vilèm Flusser, 1987]
