How the world looks

[Farid]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share how the world looks to some people. To help me, I will be using Octavio Ocampo's paintings. Basically, some people see faces in almost everything.

How the world looks to some people?! No offense, but the threads you start are things you want to share with others, but this is a science DISCUSSION forum. We like to talk about various aspects of science. If you want to share something with us, how about giving us a clue about how you'd like us to interact with it?

This is like a blog post, which you've heard before. It doesn't invite us to have a conversation about the subject. Did you wish to discuss the art of Ocampo? Did you wish to discuss how humans tend to see patterns in natural events? Did you wish to discuss the differences in people who see things this way and those who don't? Is this posted in "Other Sciences" for a reason? Is it important that the images all resolve to human faces instead of anything else? Do the wings and bird images in each signify anything? Do you see the world this way?

Without some direction, I can only add, "That's nice." Not much discussion.

Birds are eyes, noses and lips..

This is thread about pattern recognition by the brain. A pretty good bit of science..

This is art. There is much more to artist's expression than how the world looks or how brain recognizes patterns. 

Another example to enjoy: o'keeffe art - Bing images

Very clever, I'm amazed by the talents of people. Art can be a representation of their talent and an expression of their imagination. I'm always in awe of such.

Try this one:

Use the stopwatch.

Technically, it can be argued how perception and subjectivism can be discussed in science. Nonetheless these are all very fascinating.
