this is really weird, i don't know what to say. i live in a building a bit like that one on the floor, yet i dream of a room like that. this image makes me feel a bit anxious to be honest. a reminder of the claustrophobia of the concrete space i live in, and the life i'm missing in a more natural world.
I am a perpetual window gazer. Our backyard is not large but it still gives me the feeling of looking out onto the natural world. I love the city but couldn't hack it for long...what I always mistook for the moon was the light from an adjacent building apartment...and I think I've decided that cricket-song is so soothing to me that i can't do without it for long. I do imagine however, there being in the future a program called (perhaps)Windows on the World that would be displayable on those wall plasma screens and would give you any vantage point (real-time) that you could crave...from Tibet to busy East Village Streets to a tranquil wooded pond etc... Ahhhh...How I would enjoy changing those channels..:)Til then I have no need for television.
