Meaning, I see the inside of their glass and they see the inside of mine?

That was really heavy. I took a class in college called Visual Culture - it was all about how people perceive things and then eventually how the powers to be manipulated shit to fuck with humans, etc. Now reading about dioramas and early panoramic paintings was cool and all ... but my freaky chain-smoking has-been artists professor was way too into the philosophy behind this stuff. Almost ruined some interesting exhibits.
I did a nasty presentation about Virtual Reality though. Nasty.
