Exploring the rules
As I wandered in the National Gallery, I was amazed to see all the paintings. I wondered at the skill of the artists, their use of colour and how they played with light and shade. I observed the brushwork they used to enhance their works. I enjoyed the whole experience—to be able to bathe my senses in this palace of human creativity. It was surprising then to see so many people viewing important and precious artworks through their smartphones. It might sound shocking, but they seemed more interested in taking photos and recording videos of artworks than appreciating them with their own eyes. How was it possible, I wondered, to truly appreciate the human touch of a great painting when it was reduced to a few million pixels Looking at artworks through smartphones, I thought, was like trying to appreciate the countryside without being able to hear the birds sing, feel the breeze against my face or smell the flowers. Moving slowly through the National Gallery, I was determined to keep my smartphone in my bag and appreciate each individual painting with the best camera in the world: my own eyes.
