"In watching Sprouts, I'm reminded of Finn the dog sniffing his way along odor trails and following the scents of previous passers-by. To us, touch is rooted in the present, in the instants when a sensor makes contact with a surface. But to Sprouts, touch extends into the recent past, just as smell does to Finn. His whiskers can feel what was, rather than simply what is."
