LEARNER REACTIONS: Exploring the Alchemy of Learning

	How do you feel about the classes you take?
	Is learning effective or is it a waste?
	Ah, so much variation in each classroom!
	Could better spaces exist to get entombed?

	What we call "education" is often an extended social dance.
	The deepest learning involves neuro-chemical change
	in a mystic trance.


Melissa: (frowning) Humph, this seems like rubbish to me!

Tim:     Well, Sometimes art invites us to look in ways that are oblique: not all
         messages appear head-on. 

Liao:    All I see are various images with word fragments. No idea where they come
         from or where they are heading.

Tim:     Is that so different from our ordinary consciousness? Most people's minds are 
         filled with discursive bubbles that obscure energy under the surface.
            
Satoru:  Yeah, but where are the 'learner reactions'? I don't see any in this art.

Tim:     Well, we're reacting right now. The question is: what are we actually learning?
