On his own reflections about the photographic spectrum conferred in the lecture, Prof. Roberto Lopardo, AUD's Chair of Visual Communication and Assistant Professor of Photography, commented, "We are very excited to have Marc Joseph visit AUD and lend his unique expertise on contemporary photography to our students and to the city of Dubai. Marc's understanding of how photography works in relation to context, is of timely importance considering Dubai's ever shifting sense of public and private spaces".

To perceive by the visual faculty; see: beheld a tiny figure in the distance. b. . I'm a big believer in understanding the usefulness of art in this way, in our need to be physically present with it. Occasionally physical things give back something that is not tangible or easily defined, and some of the interest we have in art or objects represents a certain hope for that possibility."
