WILL 3D MOVIES CHANGE HOW WE LOOK AT THE WORLD?

WILL 3D MOVIES CHANGE HOW WE LOOK AT THE WORLD? I posted here about how modern art and modern architecture have valued flatness. In the post I quoted Greg Kreutz: “…from the 1920′s onward…Depicting light and depth became something like gun-blueing or powdered-wig-making, a lost art.” This is in contrast with the Renaissance architects and painters who were enchanted with shadow and depth. I wonder if the period that began in roughly the 1920’s is going to come to an end. Frank Gehry’s architecture is a long way from flatness. And I wonder if 3D movies like Avatar may make us more aware of and more appreciative of the depth of the world we live in. There is a satisfaction to the solidity and the spaces of the things and shapes that are continuously before me that I tend to ignore until they are called to my attention—by classic paintings or 3D movies.
