Personally, the most interesting thing about the film is the relationship between the automatic and impersonal mechanism of the soulless camera and the viewer. The ordinary artistic experience consists, among other things, of reconstructing the artist's intentions and the meaning that they embed in their work. After all, only humans, as a species, this "perverted animal" (Rousseau), are capable of art and a sense of beauty. Therefore, only humans can create art and imbue images/film shots with meaning. In this case, inhuman camera shots create film images, and yet as viewers, we are still able to find beauty in them. There is a lesson here even for watching conventional films - the meaning of a work of art is always created/completed in the mind of the viewer, the fullness of the meaning of the work is only formed in their perception, which is always incomplete until the viewer processes it, even in such "spiritual" films like Tarkovsky's. We can sing odes to this characteristic of the human viewer, or we can criticize it - after all, there is something cowardly about this perverted animal that needs to find meaning even in things that are senseless, just like the shots of a robotic camera.
