ruineshumaines: After The Mona Lisa 8, 2010, by Devorah Sperber. After The Mona Lisa 8  is constructed from 1482 larger spools of thread so the image resolution is very low. Yet when seen through a viewing sphere, the thread spools condense into a recognizable image, conveying how little information the brain needs to make sense of visual imagery it has already been exposed to. At first glance, the thread spool installation appears to be a random arrangement of spools of thread. A clear acrylic sphere placed in front of the work, shrinks and condenses the thread spool “pixels” into a recognizable image while also rotating the imagery 180 degrees like the human eye. This shift in perception functions as a dramatic mechanism to present the idea that there is no one truth or reality, emphasizing subjective reality vs. an absolute truth. I am interested in the link between art, science, and technology, how the eyes and brain prioritize, and reality as a subjective experience vs. an absolute truth. As a visual artist, I cannot think of a topic more stimulating and yet so basic, than the act of seeing—how the human brain makes sense of the visual world.

anthropologie: The image above is Ormond Gigli’s iconic photograph Girls in the Windows, which was shot in a condemned building the day before it was to be razed in 1960. According to Gigli, he had to work quickly to secure the proper permits and convince the demolition supervisor to allow him access. Granted, it probably helped that he used the supervisor’s wife as one of his models (third floor, third from left). Via: Cube Me
