OSTFEN PLAYS WITH PHOTOSHOP IV: AN ELUCIDATION OF VISION


I suck the world in through my eyes.
Perception is born through twin maelstroms that fuse into one beam on the screen of my mind.

Now I really need photoshop... I love the way the vortex arches from the natural curve of your brows...
So where do taste and smell and touch condense in the beam? :)

Fz, there is nothing natural about the curve of my brows, but thanks:)
You are right, this is a simplified representation of perception. My mastery of photoshop didn't allow me as of yet to include taste, hearing, smell or touch in the beam:)
Very few people merge all their sensory information in one beam by the way, and I am not one of them. Most have a morceled perception of reality.

i think i crave synesthesia... but if i left out hearing... does that indicate some resistance to sound? :) just when i was about to rent a piano!

Laila, :)
FZ: I hadn't really heard of the technical term before :), so thanks Dr.
U probably left out hearing because nowadays that is the trashiest sense given the huge ambient levels of noise pollution.
Rent a piano?? Interesting idea. I would still go ahead with it:)

called the piano dealers today... feels very american: they bring, they tune, and in a year they take away! i just have to figure out where i'll be in a year. maybe the noise pollution can be balanced by a beethoven revival? unfortunately, i have never experience synesthesia... :)

FZ, good luck with your new adventure. My place could never fit a piano, I'd have to sleep in it:)
