experiment
“We’re doing… what?” asked the Muse of Many Questions.
Thalia was tapping away on Typist’s cell phone with her index finger. “We’re sharing a link to an electronic box with the readers.”
“An electronic box? Do you think that’s what the thing is really called? Are you using the correct vocabulary?” The Muse of Determination (Urania) was a stickler for getting things right… and often found herself frustrated by her companions lackadaisical approach.
“Close enough for today,” said Thalia. “We’re learning and have the leeway of a beginner’s mind.”
“So… Typist took the video at the Van Gogh exhibit and you’ve put it in an ‘electronic storage box’ so that we can share it on BFN?” Calliope was squinting as she played the idea like a handful of wet sand.
“You know… for some people this electronic box thing is no big deal,” Urania quipped.
“And for others… they would be hard pressed to take a video with their cell phone,” Thalia replied. “What is small to the bear is big to the ant.”
“I hope our readers like the video,” said Cal. “And if they get the opportunity, they might really enjoy experiencing the exhibit for themselves.”
Aha! Cleverly designed- not starting today’s newsletter with the usual lead in image. That made this reader want to know if this was the experiment!
This experiment caused me to wonder what the artists would think, from long before our digital world, after peering into this box? How many would scorn this “contrivance?” How many instead would see the box and digital imaging as a new paintbrush or chisel and hammer or buckets of paint?
I'd heard of this exhibit, Gail - thanks for sharing a snippet of it. Boy, I'd love to see it in person someday!
