COM 114 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Gigapixel Image, Direct Image Functor, Verisimilitude
Document Summary
Hyper real digital reproduction 196 images stitched together, 1 gigapixel+ of info, has 100x the amount of detail the human eye could record: image representation our minds store data then relate that data to a. Known phenomenon at some level of abstraction. (like being able to guess how old eloise is). Loose representations can suggest sufficient data to trigger predictable interpretations: verisimilitude - true representations of fiction. Something that looks real that isn"t real is more real to us than something that is real that doesn"t look it: isomorphism outline similarity to an original (like a silhouette) Discrimination: separating the elements of an indefinable mass into definable separate parts: it allows us to recognise that a is a before we see all of it. The six basic structures: boundaries, rhythm, association, classification, abstraction, hierarchy. Boundaries: brains perceive wholes and will either impose or remove borders in order to construct them. Alonso 3: brains perceive (and recall) action, not states.
