Conner’s artistic approach embodies the power of transformative perception and dynamic interaction between art and its audience. By placing harnesses on his art pieces, he metaphorically is exploring the concept that art possesses its own identity and viewpoint shaped by restraints. This act is a profound investigation into how art interacts with and is influenced by its environment, and how it evolves over time in response to these interactions.
The harnesses symbolize the various constraints and influences that shape the interpretation and perception of art. Through this lens, Conner examines how context, perspective, and external factors alter our understanding and appreciation of art. This approach blurs the line between creator and creation, suggesting a symbiotic relationship where each influences and learns from the other.

Jordan locks eyes with his target, and holds their gaze. Both parties’ eyes strangely dilate for a moment as if seeing something only the two of them can see. Then, if successful the target carries out the singular sentence he broadcast into their brain. For the target, what this looks like is when they gaze into Jordan’s eyes, they seem to fall into them, deeply, until all they see before them is a single sentence, and they have a deep primal fear of what will happen if they do not carry it out.
Though it is very difficult to perceive as it is a beam of light, (thus moving at light speed), the way the gift works physically are that Jordan’s alien eyes beam out an encoded signal that is received through the target’s eyes, sending a single message to their brain. If Jordan’s eyes are destroyed, he will lose access to this power. This power would also be ineffective on things that cannot visually perceive light.
