That is a great drawing, but oddly enough, it's a lot closer to reality than you think. I had an exhibition in the art gallery I work at with an American artist who made these fishbowl robots, where the movements of the fish in the fishbowl controlled the movement of the robot. No kidding. :hmmm:

click on it and have a look in "art works" at "Augmented fish reality".
Fact is sometimes stranger than fiction!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
