When I see inscriptions like this, I'm always struck by how our perceptions of history are so influenced by our current values. This person must have known something of the value of this temple to ancient Egyptian culture and contemporary scholarship, yet he or she carved his or her name and the date into it. This was only one of many such inscriptions. Are they a symptom of wanting to tie oneself to the past and therefore gain a small bit of immortality or greatness, or are they a sign of how history can be belittled one day and glorified the next? Perhaps they signify a bit of both.
Is the glass half empty or half full?
In life, it's how we see things that determine how we tackle situations and life, in general. Seeing the glass half full (optimism), helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly, and makes life look bright and promising. Seeing the glass half empty (pessimism) saps our energy, focus and motivation to do the right things in life.
You have the power to choose.
Artist & Best Friends Animal Sanctuary founder, Cyrus Mejia's show Pits & Perception opened in Los Angeles @ Artology 101 in Glendale. There were several live pit bulls in attendance at the festivities.

"Art can present us with a different view, a new perspective, another way of thinking about things. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls."

The Entangled Eye is an exploration of visual perception through robotic motion. Luna and Laika are two robotic creatures with curious and animate behavior programmed to elicit your attention. As the whimsical creatures chase your eyes with unique kinematic expressions, the direction of your gaze orchestrates a conversation. The indeterminacy of attention coupled with the animacy of kinetic movement constitutes the basis for our attempt at reconfiguring and understanding the perceptual experience of behavioral artefacts and animism.

Who defines what is beautiful?
Magazines constantly trick females into believing that perfection is a possibility. Celebrities role model a life style whereby they instinctively hide their individualisms and become clones of society. The public therefore feels compelled to achieve this definition of ‘beautiful.’ Surely, this means we size up beauty in the same way we would pick a cake at afternoon tea? We automatically judge on aesthetically pleasing form.
As young girls fail in their conquest to replicate a plastic Barbie look, they unfortunately become more aware of their flaws. They forget that beauty is the opposite of perfection - it’s about confidence, charisma and confidence. Inner beauty never needs make up. Females need to be reminded that imperfections are what make each individual human and unique. Flaws are perfection.
The preparatory year in Prep School is when and where new fears are faced, new and different emotions are being felt, new friends made, personal perceptions change and new habits developed. Where they learn to commit and to participate, to give and to take, to feel hurt and cause hurt and learn to bear the consequences from it. And from it all to make friends and to becaome brothers. Then on to the next phase to face the daunting challenge of mixing with older, bigger boys and telling and showing them that you matter too.

This article investigates the significance of receiver’s perception in virtual reality art. With virtual reality technology, artwork became a process rather than a definite object, and perception of receivers could be the process of Art. Finally, the conflict between full body immersion and imagination remains to be mediated in present virtual reality art.

Walked out of the resort the meeting was held in to see what was up and found a burger place of all things. I give it two thumbs up.
That was a pleasant break from racking my brain about what all these contributions submitted in response to my contributions actually meant. LTE is complicated you guys. And so is human perception.

This necklace has a story.
I purchased it when I was a little girl, and back then I thought it was THE prettiest necklace in THE WHOLE WORLD. Really. I thought the totally fake (metal) "stones" surrounding the blue heart were real diamonds and that the blue heart, instead of a cheap plastic novelty, was a real sapphire. I remember being in awe of the necklace when I first saw it.
I recently discovered it again, and, I must admit, I was a bit disappointed to see that it now looks like a cheap novelty to me, instead of the rare, expensive piece of jewelry I perceived it as when I was a little girl.
However, I think the story illustrates how our perceptions change over time, and that beauty really can be in the eye of the beholder. It's a little reminder to be accepting of others' perceptions: you may see the cheap novelty, but they may see the expensive jewelry, and neither perception is "wrong" or "right". Just different, and worth acknowledging, accepting, and trying to understand.
Maybe this necklace is just a cheap, childish novelty. But, to me, because of how it awed me as a little girl, it will always be a treasure.
