The result loops through themind/body system resulting in an emotional reaction, producing meaning; realityis, in a sense, obscured by our own perceptions; as video artists, it is up tous to dis-cover or un-cover reality, then re-present or re-imagine reality in amanner that changes the viewers perception, to inform rather than affirm, tocreate rather than imitate - Videos by Walter Wright and a performance byWalter Wright and Al Margolis aka Elka Bong https://nohtv.wordpress.com/ <https://nohtv.wordpress.com/>
