Since we're on this topic, is there any explanation why these over-processed images (particularly when they're over-sharpened) make me physiologically uncomfortable/disgusted? Like, literally vomit-inducing.
- PureParadigm 6y agoMaybe something to do with the uncanny valley [1]? It's mostly real, but just fake enough to feel... off. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley
- bagels 6y agoLiterally? Surely that is an exaggeration?
- isoprophlex 6y agoMaybe not; those deep dream zoom videos that were popular some years back made me physically uncomfortable to the point of nausea and bad lightheadedness ..!
- fireattack 6y agoIt's a very milder one but yes. These images (the ones in OP aren't that bad, but some in /r/shittyHDR [1] definitely) do make me uncomfortable in a way similar to these "Deep Dream" images. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyHDR/ https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyHDR/
- someperson 6y agoProbably an evolutionary response for ingestion of psychedelic compounds? I would also like to know more so if you know the name of this phenomenon please share.
