Notes on visual perception
---------------------------------------------------------------
Example 1.

- One of excellent examples: from pasivity to action; deliberate change of orientation of the initial photo alters the perception. Sometimes it takes very little, just a little WITT and you are there! A good lesson.

Example 2.
Bâle Art Basel "Conversation 3"

just a remark on this: capturing the situation with the added value makes the art of its own - common use in many media.
------------------------------------------------
Example 3.
Mulhouse-Rue Jacques Preiss "Le bleu de ......bleu..."

Another valuable lesson: interaction of natural and man-made, most interesting in extreme sizes.
