On the perception of English Transformation Art

[glenellynboy]

To create a suitable environment for perception of English
Transformation Art, it might be helpful to describe a typical client's
encounter with it at the very beginning.

First off, it is totally unfamiliar. There is nothing else like it.

Second, one reads or hears an explanation. That might come from Mr.
Batek or it might come from someone else. Depending on who explains
it, you might get a very different explanation. This is a very
important aspect of the art--how it is explained and by whom--and as
the art gains ground in the world, if it does, this aspect will
continue to be important. People familiar with it will be of varying
depths of understanding of it, and most understanding of it will be by
hearing others explain it. Not many will have the ability to figure it
out on their own.

Thirdly, there is the effect the art has on the viewer after he reads
or hears an explanation of it. Here too, the effect the art has will
depend on what the explanation he has of it is, and to what extent he
has understood it. It may be a barrier to spread of the art that it
depends on whether it is understood, but on the other hand it may come
about that effects will vary greatly because of this dependence, and
perhaps that is a good thing.

This Google group will therefore be of great value in bringing people
of varying understanding of the art together to help each other
understand it more.

Finally, there is the fact that the art is a representation of a text,
probably one word. Thus, we can all agree on what the art means. It
means what word it represents. That is very immediate and
uncircumventable. Despite all the math and complex explanation, it
always comes down to just a word or two. Nothing heavy. So in a way,
the art is a grand departure from a word into exotic and unfamiliar
worlds of math, and then back to the reassurance that, in the end, it
still is just a word, caught unequivocably as an artful object for the
gracing of one's wall, where years and years into the future it will
attract interest from those as yet unfamiliar with the art form and
who will like to hear an explanation.

It is this fact that will bring you to purchase a work of English
Transformation Art, to become associated in this way with the ongoing
explanation of the work, from one person seeing it to another.

And besides that, they kind of look nice, too.
