Many artists work with assistants and reproducing processes. They conducted a simple experiment: People read a story about a painting called "Dawn" created by an artist.

Press Here is a "normal" book that uses book-ish tools--pacing, spatial arrangement of images on the page, text as instruction--to break the fourth wall and create an interactive experience. They recall other artistic work that breaks fourth walls--classically in theater, and more recently in new media projects. Hilarity ensues.
