That is the trouble with averages. I wonder how probable it is that a work
of art is viewed at for 3 to 5 seconds. In my case, this probability is
very low. When I go into a gallery it takes maximum two seconds to decide
whether I want to spend time with a specific painting or not. 1-2-3-4 next
1-2-3-4 next 1-2-3-4 next... would drive me crazy within shortest time.
But may be I am as little average as you are ;-) Next time in a gallery I
will observe the observers. I wonder whether I find that average human. If
I did, s/he would really be an exception, I guess.
Liebe Gruesse,
