Theater of Mind

How do we know that we are seeing the same picture as everyone else? Every individuals see it the way they want to see it, and relate it to their personality and personal life. People perceive things differently. We choose to select different aspects of a message to focus our attention based on what interests us, what is familiar to us, or what we consider important. We all engage in selection, or choosing some stimuli while ignoring others. It influences from experience, from knowledge, from curiosity, and from our memory. Art is very hard to look at objectively because it causes emotions in people observing it. With that being the case, different people can have different emotions. There is no standard emotion or perception to any one work of art because we are different.
