Stimulus

A truly visual art form—for example, painting—is one in which time plays no essential role. Though it takes time to look at a painting, there is no fixed order in which one must look at its parts, and no fixed amount of time one must spend examining it. In contrast, most art art, actually must be performed, even if the performance is only a silent reading to oneself.
