...Blue Man Group's ability to meld fractals and shaving cream-to use optical illusion to comment on generational identity crisis-typifies the balance of fun and metaphor that makes the show work. The effort, explains Wink, is not to let any one dimension of the show eclipse the other. "We start out being avant-gardists and then we say, 'oh look, we're being assholes,' and then we start to play for awhile and our message becomes emotive.

Too often over the centuries, Meier admits, the Catholic Church was taken in by charlatans. When reports spread of statues weeping or crosses bleeding or Jesus appearing on a tortilla, the church is often slow to respond, fearful that the search for a sign will distract from the hard...
...dawn of the machine age brought the camera to a new state of self-awareness. Photographers eschewed the painting-like limitations by experimenting with angles, fragmented imagery and new developing techniques. Chasing Shadows' next conceptual segment, "Creative Vision," demonstrates photography's prerogative to meld realism with creative distortion...
