Ok, this is mindblowing for me. When I think of a tiger I have some kind of visual sensation, but it's extremely low on information. Like maybe 12x12 or 16x16 pixels. But not sharp pixels, but fuzzy, colored shapes, or very, very simple details, like whiskers. Like in a impressionist picture. But way simpler.
Never though that this was different of anyone else.
Also, when i read this article and i tried visualising things i realised that apparently i can have this image only for about halve a second, then it's gone. Guess that different of other people aswell.
Maybe i just found out why i was so very bad in art class, despite trying.
- Twisol 5y agoFor what it's worth, I'm also completely worthless at art, despite being on the opposite end of the visualization spectrum -- I can easily conjure very detailed visual (and sonic) impressions in my mind's eye, and the act of reading itself for me cannot be decoupled from "hearing" the words (tone and all) in my head. It's depressing in a totally different sense, because I can never capture on paper the things that I visualize -- I just don't have the knack for art.
