I can think of a little experiment (sadly we lack the tech to do it in the group) with Facil's question and sculptures. Instead of 'talk', we could tap the brain music of thinking and observing. You can get the idea here - http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0049773#pone.0049773.s001 - the music files will play from this site. One could almost imagine a 'what others were inspired to' button with one of the works playing this 'music'. The stuff does sound a little avant garde. Would the output change from first look to considering with one of Facil's titles?
