A professor in graduate school gave our class the assignment to make a book dealing with art. We were given weeks and weeks of class time to produce our book, but I did nothing. Instead I designed a cover saying “Conceptual Art, by Shane McGeehan”, had the book printed, and then glued all of the pages together so it could not be opened.

This is a photograph that was digitally manipulated to depict the visual phenomenon of looking at a candle in the dark while slightly squinting your eyes. If you squint while looking at it, it feels more real.
