The spiral is not a spiral. If you follow each loop you wind up back where you started. Still got to figure how the f!ck it's done though. As far as the brio train track goes I think one is set higher than the other.

These are quite common and although clever are easily sussed.

The (non)spiral is brilliant...

Like you mate I traced a finger and couldn't beleive how it was circles...... very clever.

Now this one has got me. Unless it's a play on words - grey is not a colour it's a shade, technically, so therefore NEITHER are a colour (or they are both grey).

[houseboy]

There aren't any - they don't exist.

So what creates them when you look directly at them? They do disappear when not looked at directly.

This seesaw looks like it is tilted but the two boxes are actually lined up straight.

I think its the letters A and B that appear to be different colours .... but don't forget the dress

This caused great consternation when people think its a different colour.

Star/triangle or not... most think they see an upside down triangle when in reality there is nothing just an empty space

As Phil Collins said, take a look at me now.

Incidentally Zen would say that the triangle exists just as surely as the lines and dots. Either it exists or the lines and dots don't - both are the same. The lines and dots 'create' the triangle just as our minds 'create' what we see. Everything we perceive is an action of the mind because it is the only way we can perceive any thing at all. A philosophical theory (Kant I think) says if a baby was born with no sense perception at all, completely bereft of taste, touch, hearing, smell and sight, and kept alive artificially until it was 18, would that 18 year old have a single thought in it's head? Would it even be aware of it's own existence? With nothing 'outside' of itself to experience it would have nothing to gauge it's own existence by. Therefore when it is said that the world is a mental construct and only exists in our minds it is theoretically true.

Phew - how about that for Thursday afternoon?

Its Edukashunel in ere innit

House and his talk of philosophers means only one thing.......

Singalong words below......

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently ******

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
And Hobbes was fond of his dram

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's ******

I believe folk are having me on, when it comes to optical illusions, but apart from that I'm very trusting...

Anyway, here's one Pstotto made earlier: 'Cartesian Questions'

Well m8 they would need to find a Rhyme

Pstotto is permanently Blotto

That would fit

Absolutely brilliant Boss - marvelous. Pstotto is hellishly difficult to find a rhyme to that involves drunkenness. Grotto is no good and neither is Lotto. I believe Potted is a word for being drunk but that is stretching it a bit.

John Stuart Mill of his own free will off half a pint of shandy was particularly ill,
Pstotto in the Grotto was well and truly Blotto, trying to play Lotto with his willie in a grill.

My Jove I believe we have it, we have a rhyme. I didn't say it was perfect.

[Pstotto]

Blotto is the word...

Look at this:

Isometric Chair.jpg (59.97 KiB) Viewed 843 times

It's an isometric picture of a chair. However, the objective view (the camera so far) of reality is that it is photographic and in perspective.

Surely reality is reality is reality, so on that basis the picture above is both 'photographic' and 'in perspective', for how could it be otherwise, as an image?

... And yet it seems to be neither.

[Pstotto]

... As well as being comprehensible.

????????

Are you sure it said Kant Pstotto.....





It might have been on about Hegel and his visit to Kent.......

[Pstotto]

Yes, Kant...

Kant said that the transcendental was media inasmuch as that data was transformed internally to create consciousness.

These things are what the artist engages with via making art, intuitively mostly. Big fundamental mysteries and on the interface of it.

How can one recognize a square, for example?

"Oh yes, you remind me of, such and such, I thought it was you...""

Hmm???????

... And where was the rest of reality meantime, eh???????

A little bit of reality here but not there, not there on the square?

Meanwhile over in Sweden, the University of Gothenberg are currently seeking a lecturer in Fine Art:

'We particularly welcome applicants who can demonstrate an active artistic research profile and teaching practice which may correspond to one or more of the following areas of critical inquiry: post-colonial studies, decolonial studies, critical race studies, Afro-futurism/pessimism and radical imaginaries; public art; exhibitionary and curatorial practices, addressing institutional and counter-institutional systems; identity studies such as gender, queer, race and ‘crip’ politics; art and politics/economics; critical digital and post-digital studies; activism, sustainability and the capitalocene/anthropocene; post-humanism, cosmopolitics and new materialism; critical approaches to geographies, urbanism/rurality and critical heritages; and socially engaged, participatory, collaborative, collectivised and communitarian arts practices.'

...

[Pstotto]

In other words, we are building a culture fascist state and this will involve propaganda... Or am I just kidding?

I doubt they could answer at the interview, how have they got to that place of issue-based concern, were their visual matrix to be that isometric picture as the basis ( i.e. gleaned from this 2D data field) for all those conclusions about such a picture and applicable geometries with respect to objective reality, the noumenon of whatever it is.
