But this treatment reminds me of far too many bad posters and "special mystical effect art pieces" that were popular in the 70's "new age" era. I know the gold is the real color but it does not feel that way at all. It's our job to guide the viewers' eyes where we want them... but this doesn't feel like I've been guided. It feels like my head's been grabbed by a gorilla, yanked into a specific position, and then welded in place while someone else wedges my eyelids open and a guard standing over me with a cattle prod demands that I focus on THIS THING... Or Else. It's not really my favorite experience. -- R.
