Sunday on the grande jatte

At the Chicago Art Institute I try to incorporate people in the gallery into the scene. The image becomes "Sunday in the park with George on a Friday in the gallery with Fred." As you're viewing it right now it becomes"[your name] viewing Sunday in the park with George on a Friday in the gallery with Fred on [the date you're viewing this]." The conceptual artistic goal is to reduce the artwork itself to a nearly invisible part of the viewing experience.The attempt is analogous to reverse engineering Blake's seeing a world in a grain of sand.
