Stationary, which measures change, sometimes has minor movements in itself. For example, a trash bag, which is inside a trash can and indicates a fixed position, or is a point rather than a line, has movements itself caused by wind. This character is also significant in water; still water in a vessel is almost never completely still. The slightest force applied to water will keep the water moving.
In experiencing space, vision is perhaps most dominant in stimulating other senses. By looking, one can feel different emotions more than by touching, smelling, and hearing.
“Distance, a parameter of space, has an ever-changing function.” (Morris) Movement constantly stimulates different feelings. If there are a series of gates, there is a linear movement suggested and perspective of looking from the perspective still-distance contrasts with the experience of moving through the gates.
If one moves straight, looking straight, although the perspective point is the same, the vision, experience constantly changes. If one moves straight, looking perpendicular to the direction they are moving, the experience is even more dramatic, as the perspective point moves along with the viewer.
