Behold! Art in your eye! Interactive art exhibits, where the impressions of the viewer becomes part of the art itself. Art is in the eye of the beholder, and now the eye of the beholder becomes part of the art!

   Basically:    The images appear on the left and the imagery (prose) appears on the right. The top-right is prose by the exhibit's creator, meant to "illustrate" the image(s) on the left.

It uses screen dimensions of 1024 x 728, so if the display is running off your screen, right-click on your desktop, choose the Settings tab, and make sure you're set to at least that.

   Controls:  

	Skip to the previously-viewed image in the exhibit. If you're looking at the first one currently, then it shows  you the last image in the exhibit (looping around, if you will).
	Skip to the next image in the exhibit. If you're looking at the last one currently, then it will show you the first  image in the exhibit (looping around, if you will).
	This is the crux of the exercise here: Clicking here will open a simply input window in which you're free to jot down the impression that the visuals and prose in this piece gave you. Try to do it quickly, as soon as you've looked at things and read the imagery, before you over-think it, so we can capture your first impressions in their raw form. Your impressions will then be added to the top of the other impressions left here in the bottom-right area of the exhibit. Interactive art!
	Clicking this button will close the window in which the art exhibit you're viewing was opened, taking you back to the place wherefrom you requested this exhibit.
	Brings up the exhibit's HELP window.

   Adding Your Own First Impressions To The Exhibit:  

This exhibit invites you to become part of the art, by giving your impressions of the visuals as much weight as the author's.

One of the most powerful windows to the soul is the first impression -- that place where your mind and heart jump immediately upon experiencing something, before the old habits of thought come along and calculate your feelings too carefully.

To add your impressions to the exhibit, simply click the  button, and jot your impressionistic feedback into the text box which opens. Please enter a first name or nick that you use around here, or leave it as is and you'll just be identified as ANON.

Your feelings will then become part of the exhibit, impacting the first impressions of future visitors, creating a ripple-effect of artistic reactions!
