Touch, A Natural History of the Senses ~ Reflection

Touch is important to us. It makes things tangible and real. We are constantly touching something, whether it be our feet on the floor or our back on the bed. Touch is how we communicate and how we understand things. Texture is important, it help us to recognize objects.

Our world is three dimensional, doesn't it make sense to portray it in three dimension? The third dimension makes sense to our brains, because we can reach out and touch it. Its right there. Its concrete and solid.

This also makes it interesting to play around with. Can we create something that is real but unrealistic? I can create something that you can touch, therefore it is real. However my creation can portray something that is so far from reality that it doesn't exist. But it does, because you can touch it.
