In between the thing and your perception of it, there are so many layers of bending, stretching, reflection, quantization, imputation, and filtering, occurring through different physical, digital, and biological processes. Why does this one make the image not real?
- gorgoiler 6y agoProcesses that are agnostic of the image and its artifacts feel different — “acceptable” — compared to ones that are specific to the image content itself. I am now imagining a science fiction story where visitors to Earth initiate communication with us using faint arcs of light across the night sky. No one notices and the telescopes and cameras filter them all out. The visitors go home, sulking.
