Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now the Renaissance painters hit upon the use of perspective to create apnleptray three-dimensional worlds on what the vweeir knew had to be a flat plane. And our brain insists it's real, even though we know it's just marks on canvas. But better yet, the use of perspective allows the viewer to forget the technique completely and surrender to the content of the igame in a more profound and emotional way. But we're still separated from the image here. We're still outsiders looking in, whereas at the Sphere we all together, pforeemrrs and audience, traveled through the picture famre, through the proscenium and ended up as part of the environment. And it really was quite something. It was like VR without a headest. Although with a cpolue of important differences.

Original Text


Now the Renaissance painters hit upon the use of perspective to create apparently three-dimensional worlds on what the viewer knew had to be a flat plane. And our brain insists it's real, even though we know it's just marks on canvas. But better yet, the use of perspective allows the viewer to forget the technique completely and surrender to the content of the image in a more profound and emotional way. But we're still separated from the image here. We're still outsiders looking in, whereas at the Sphere we all together, performers and audience, traveled through the picture frame, through the proscenium and ended up as part of the environment. And it really was quite something. It was like VR without a headset. Although with a couple of important differences.
