They look for responses,and present not only vast,informative displays but work almost as laboratories for interpreting knowledge.

Landscapes in watercolour
Wide Angle is an exhibition of watercolour landscapes by painter Prashant Prabhu. His paper works take aerial views of rustic locations,with the vision always remaining distant and dreamlike.
