WARNING: Some aspects of this exhibit may be out of date. Note, this is based on something rather silly, but which I did observe in real life. | ||

Was it a travelling exhibit?No Is the museum especially well-known?To the contrary, I'd actually be rather surprised if you know about it. I hadn't heard of it until my friend posted some pictures of it on Facebook, and I have even been in the city where it is. Is it in [LTPF list of continents]?Europe Is it an art museum?Partly | ||

Is it a specific type of art?Yesish, though not a certain style like Impressionist, Cubist, etc. And in fact it's not "fine art" in the sense of those, either. Is the museum focused on a specific topic?Yesish | ||

Does the art museum exhibit paintings? Sculptures? Bad art?Irrelevant to all, except a slight "ish" to sculptures Hint to get you more OTRT: What I saw is actually rather unlikely for an art exhibit, and would be much more probably be seen pertaining to a certain type of display involving live animals. It just so happened that there was an art piece in that little museum where this applied. And this is a lot like the "kill city jumper" puzzle, in that nothing else about the place would be of help to know except for the little detail that also has the answer to the puzzle. | ||

Was the art piece shaped like the animal? Was it a depiction of the animal? A sculpture? Painting? Drawing? Mosaic? None of these. I'll say it's a hologram, and the fact that it's 3D is rather relevant, simply because I doubt this would be necessary if it were 2D. Though the type of animal is the crucial part. | ||

**************RECAP****************************** I saw something in connection with an exhibit containing an art piece that showed a tarantula (highly magnified I might add). What I saw is in fact more likely to be seen with an exhibit where live spiders are present. Nothing about the exhibited material other than the presence of spiders that are real or realistic is relevant. This "thing" I saw is somehow related to the puzzle statement. Sorry for all the "things", but as there haven't been any questions about the origin (within the exhibit, said by someone, etc.) and meaning of the puzzle statement, the nature of the connection is as yet obscure. | ||

Since this hasn't gotten any questions in two weeks, I think it's time for a... Hint: Investigate the context of the puzzle statement, i.e. whether it was written, spoken, or just imagined, whether it was serious or sarcastic, etc., and how it was related to the exhibit. | ||

No to all Imagined?Noish FYOI?Yes, but prompted by something that is written on the museum's website. Was it serious?What is written on the website is serious. The puzzle statement is silly. Or sarcastic? Yesish Or something else? I'd call it this. There is a relation between what is written on the site and the puzzle statement that is rather lateral.

Hint to get you back on track: The writing on the website is also a warning (hence my labeling it a fact-ish). It shouldn't be too hard to guess what the warning is, if you remember that in this case it applies to a purely virtual spider. | ||

Is the warning something usually seen in connection with exhibitions, but seems silly with this particular exhibit? Or is it rather something awkward, not seen on exhibitions? It is something like: do not touch the exhibits? The "virtual spider" is: on paper? on screen? on the wall? behind glass? The purpose of the warning is to prevent something people usually do to exhibits (like: touching, making photos with etc.)? Does the warning suggest that someone may mistake the hologram as the alive tarantula? | ||

Is the warning something usually seen in connection with exhibitions, but seems silly with this particular exhibit?As written, it is only applicable to exhibits with spiders. A similar warning could be given about some other things, but it would be inapplicable to most exhibits. Or is it rather something awkward, not seen on exhibitions? There is something "awkward" about it, for svv. of awkward. Not with the warning as intended, but... It is something like: do not touch the exhibits?No The "virtual spider" is: on paper? on screen? on the wall? behind glass? It's a floating hologram in the middle of the exhibit. The purpose of the warning is to prevent something people usually do to exhibits (like: touching, making photos with etc.)? No, it is exclusively for the benefit of the people being warned. Does the warning suggest that someone may mistake the hologram as the alive tarantula? Yesish, for svv. of "mistake". | ||

Was it, by any chance: "achronophobes beware"? No, so... *******************SPOILER*********************** The website, which belongs to the Camera Obscura in Edinburgh, has a warning addressing arachnophobes about a holographic spider. However, it addresses them as anachrophobes (the N and R transposed). They have no reason to care about the spider, as they would presumably be worried more about anachronisms, or things in the exhibit being out of date. And those are ostensibly both different from anarchophobes, who would fear a lack of government. Anyway, here is the site if anyone wants to see it: http://www.camera-obscura.co.uk/light_fantastic/horror-grams.asp |
