Perception explores the breach of experience that divides us all by glancing into the lives of three individuals: Clarissa, a young idealistic photographer who chooses to live as a homeless person on the streets of New York, supporting herself meal by meal by selling her photography from a blanket in Central Park; Ralph, a successful real estate salesman who struggles for balance against the cut-throat nature of his business; and Tobias, a perpetual student who gets fired a lot. Perception journeys through the same season of time from each character's point of view, detailing how presumption and mistaken intention leads to great misunderstanding. A moment, revisited from another point of view, takes new dimension--and the line between protagonist and antagonist blurs.

Art student Ian Jing impresses the realism-loving art teacher Mrs. Hui from the get-go. Following her advice, he draws exactly what he sees, straining his eyes in the process. To Mrs. Hui’s horror, Ian’s artwork gets progressively blurrier. In turn, his online fame skyrockets, as art critics on social media praise his unique style as an abstract artist. They ascribe deep, profound (pretentious) intentions and meanings to his stylistic choices, when all he's actually doing is drawing exactly what he sees.

White Noise transforms the imminent collapse of our civilization into a visceral aesthetic experience.

Her gripping account is nothing short of mesmerizing.

A person with inverted spectrum colour blindness would see the whole spectrum of colours in exact reverse: all the colour contrasts and relationships would remain the same, and the condition would be in principle undetectable, unlike "normal' colour blindness. Various extreme philosophical conclusions have been drawn from this, such as the ideas that each of us must live in our own private sensory world, and we can never express the qualities of this sensory world to another person..
