Era of Glass
Always ahead of the curve Yoko Ono, Season of Glass... we now live in a similar time as the middle ages when a segment of the population stares at the illuminated surface of glass. Unlike the Gothic cathedral's rose window, yet equally as impressive in clarity, the devices humans carry with them as they go about their daily schedule have become an extension of their body.
In restaurants and clubs one sees the effect on the people staring into the glowing glass rectangle before their face; some raise the device to capture the crowd in time as a soundbite or video snippet.
Intentional blur mariachis captured in time and space a millennium after the Crusaders roamed Europe.
Glass is how we will perceive the near future as we carry the light along our....WAY.

art vs. TV
The Gothic cathedral provided humans the first relief from the hot fields and daily grind of daily work. Stepping into the cooler interior, marble floors underfoot with the towering stone ceiling arching overhead, the human eye would find the primary colors fitted into the 'fractal-like" shape of the rose window.
Today the glass window is held in the hand of the visitor, looking down.
