Oh,Pareidolia | 2015
Performers: : Vincent CY Chen, Jiwon Choi,Kc Edit and Concept : Wednesday Kim maya, daz studio, after effects Pareidolia is a type of illusion or misperception involving a vague or obscure stimulus being perceived as something clear and distinct. Astronomer Carl Sagan claimed that the human tendency to see faces in tortillas, clouds, cinnamon buns, and the like is an evolutionary trait. He writes: As soon as the infant can see, it recognizes faces, and we now know that this skill is hardwired in our brains. Those infants who a million years ago were unable to recognize a face smiled back less, were less likely to win the hearts of their parents, and less likely to prosper. These days, nearly every infant is quick to identify a human face, and to respond with a goony grin (Sagan 1995: 45).
