Is reality real? These neuroscientists don’t think so.

Reality is more distorted than we think.

BEAU LOTTO:

Is there external reality? Of course there's an external reality. The world exists. It's just that we don't see it as it is. We can never see it as it is. In fact it's even useful to not see it as it is. And the reason is because we have no direct access to that physical world other than through our senses. And because our senses conflate multiple aspects of that world, we can never know whether our perceptions are in any way accurate. It's not so much do we see the world in the way that it really is, but do we actually even see it accurately? And the answer is no, we don't.

ALVA NOË

However paradoxical it sounds, if we think of what is visible as just what projects to the eyes, we see much more than is visible. Let me give you an example. I walk into a room and there's graffiti on the wall and imagine it's graffiti that I find really offensive. I look at it, I flush, my heart starts to race, I'm outraged, I'm taken aback. Of course, if I didn't know the language in which it was written, I could have had exactly the same retinal events and the same events in my early visual system, without any corresponding reaction. Much more shows up for us than just what projects into our nervous system.


Sequence Exhibition

David A. Brown offers a succession of related images or tiles developing a single subject, phrase or gesture. 

Statement Of Work: The Sequence project deconstructs drawings and photographs into a familiar geometry by pushing and pulling depth of field, repetition and  composition. Over the past few years I have been working on this series. Each piece starts off as a single drawing or photograph and it is abstracted through repetition. Creating this work is a meditative process which creates a sequence of images that I use to create visual phrases. Each image cluster is a visual playground offering the viewer multiple focal points, patterns and compositions to explore.
