Sometimes you just need a lo-fi cartoon to tell you how it is.

    Yea, the cartoon makes it not so boring to learn bored things. I think it is how children education works.

Ascott argues that in art, just as in science, an observer is now always a participant because the observing process alters the art itself. This is very similar to a chemistry term called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which states that it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of any given particle since the observation process alters the very momentum of the particle. Thinking about how the human eye observes anything helped me understand this; to view anything, the eye needs to collect light that is reflected off an object. When the object is as small as a particle, this particle is affected by the light particles, or photons. These photons alter the trajectory of the particle when they bounce off into the human eye. So therefore, by the time the eye gets around to seeing a particle, that particle is already moving in a new direction, making it impossible to know both the position and movement direction of any particle at the same time. Now all that science babb...
