# I don't understand
I've fixed it so it can be seen, but I don't know what the point is...

Edit : If you're saying if I don't like it I shouldn't comment. My reply would be I'm not saying I don't like it. I'm saying I don't understand it.

Edit edit : Actually I think I might have got something out of it. If you look at dead straight on (probably putting your face close to the screen is best) it should look completely (almost) black, but as you look at it from a different angle, the further away from straight on you go the more of the image you can see. Which is interesting.

# It's interactive art?
"By forcing the viewer to manipulate the picture, this piece by Rappola speaks to the paradoxes of art in the modern, digital age, where all images are fake, and yet at the same time, all too real..."

# Actually, now that I can see it (it got darker outside)
It has a strange holographic/3D quality. Probably 'cos it's so dark, but the face does have a lot of depth. Quite spooky, really.
