brings up an other, another limitation - it's a directed glance; online 
the glance is confined (by a partial or full screen). We're used to 
integrating all of this automatically, but the work you put up stands on 
its own and opens vistas which are simultaneously borderless (no vanishing 
point for example, nothing, that Zen circle for example) and replete...
