Clouds of water molecules, or of concepts, are same-quality-objects-in-proximity except for one parameter. We take omens from cloud (weather-forecasting), and we infer that concepts written with larger font indicates more attention. Image clouds are more difficult to deal with: we can think of Warhol's Monroes, the Harvey Keitel tobacco shop-owner's corner pictures in the movie 'Smoke', or 'humping man'-positions on the Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz4lix7hiLo&feature=player_embedded. When it comes to image clouds, the variation in one quality has difficulty to produce meaning right away. However, human kind has a strong tradition in telling stories by inviting people to follow the food steps of someone else. Numerous tourist guides follow ' in the food steps' of some famous explorer, but also the police investigator/detective can choose to walk the path of a victim in order to better make sense of traces.
From a design perspective sharing experience across cultures, across ages, across individuals is always a challenge, and there may be some gold to be digged in learning from these ways of experiencing-by-proxy.
