Vision#6: The Cartesian Eye?

Max Ernst, The Wheel of Light, 1925

I cannot find anything about this image on the net. I came across it here.

Is it the Cartesian eye? Or Bataille's pineal eye.

How does it relate to a central conflict within our cultural history for primacy that has been waged between the book and the film, between the newspaper and the television, between the word and the image?
