How a work of art appears in person rather then as a computer reproduction.

You made me feel as though I was there, seeing what you saw. The question was answered well, without "artsy" language that might have seemed condescending and was answered completely, without a forced verbosity.

There is nothing quite like experiencing something in real life rather than seeing a it on your computer screen or a photograph.

The world has alot of wonders to be viewed, but if in person, you will benefit from the experience 10 fold.

Masterpuppet clearly explained this type of life experience and the rewarding experience of viewing someone's expressions and ideas through art.

You seem to spend too much word space describing the art work and the museum, when one would think that you would discuss the reproduction and the presence of an art piece. Also for such an argument it would have been interesting and added more depth to your essay if you had read and referred to Walter Benjamin's 'the age of mechanical reproduction' I think was the title of that essay (it's been 4 years so forgive me if have it wrong).

Great representation in this writing. It is one thing to see something wonderful on a screen and then it is something awesome to sit here and see the beauty in person.


Well done.

The common opinion about this issue is very obvious from this article. For now there are no technologies to replace the feeling of actually being in one place, to see one thing or one person. There are possibilities to make holographic copies of the objects you want to "remote visit", copies which can show you with great resolution and 3D perspective. Even so the information you receive when you actually touch this object, after my knowledge, are not yet possible to replace with any

electronically gadget.

another brillian job done by u, i was just wondering, where do u get the time to do all this stuff?

Is it just me? Or isnt there something quite disturbing lurking in the introductory paragraph. It is in regards to the statue of the boy and I quote "I was able to get so close to the statue that I actually got in trouble for touching it to feel the texture of the different parts of the creation" .......... hmmmmm ....repressed Freudian desires perhaps?

a very interesting and realistic essay..thank u.
