Abstract	In this article, I set up a Heideggerian framework of research in order to investigate the phenomenon of "looking at the smartphone screen," focusing especially on "the desire to look," which I see as intricately connected with "the desire to know" and "the desire to be." With a clear phenomenological disposition, supplemented by a deconstructive look via Giorgio Agamben and Bernard Stiegler, I turn to Ovid's "Metamorphoses," and especially to his myth of "Narcissus," and to Lacan's theory of "the formation of the" I, concluding that desire necessitates the split of the self, the self's misrecognition in an image or in a medium or in a screen, and the subsequent reorganisation of the body, which ultimately allows for the self's "metamorphosis." After this, I discuss specifically the phenomenon of "looking at the smartphone screen," emphasising that in an age that the presence of screens and of technologically produced images increases exponentially, we cannot ignore this phenomenon's implications for educational theories and practices. Rather, we need to orient our investigations towards the interconnectedness of looking, knowing, and desiring, underlining therefore the need for an educational focus on the ways we learn to see and on the ways we learn to desire.
