Interrogating the distinctions between apperceptive and true visceral interaction. What we see in the material sense is, in fact, only a minute aspect of the total experience of an environment or an object. Our minds are preloaded with a wealth of prior experience datas that bombard our consciousness in an attempt to make sense of the world around us.

The Human eye is approximately 1 inch or 0.025 metres in diameter yet through this tiny window we determine the shape, materiality, purpose, intention, and emotional state of the world around us. From the moment we are born we begin to catalogue our experiences. We associate emotions to the visual information present at a moment of experience. This information is then used as a visceral indicator in future moments of our lives.
