the negative image that you see after looking at a bright light and then closing your eyes can be beautiful--so why not deliberately make light patterns to imprint on someone's retina? my idea is to have a gallery for this purpose with pitch black hallways and rooms covered in black velvet. once people are in these black rooms and their eyes are adjusted to the darkness, patterns of light (moving or still) will be flashed to make an imprint that can be seen after they close their eyes. the artist can include surreal music, nature sounds, etc. to accompany his or her work; patrons could recline on luxurious, deep couches while sipping wine; rooms could be private for dates.
