This article explores the concept of the “social compound eye”, a notion repeatedly refined and developed by the author through their creative filmmaking and practices. It summarizes its definition and methodologies, emphasizing its capacity to raise questions and uncover facts and truths. With the rise of online platforms and social media, images circulation dynamics have undergone significant transformations, especially in the complex interactions between individuals. In this perceived equal space, people actively engage in producing new historical materials and memories. However, the author points out that such mechanisms of circulation can also perpetuate distorted historical narratives and misleading social memory. Therefore, the author advocates for the proactive involvement of image creators in public social events, urging everyone to become a “social compound eye with a camera”, adopting a critically engaged perspective to counter the “deceptive social eye” and take an active role in the battle over images.
