Perception

Inkblot Projections

INKBLOT PROJECTIONS are a number of meaningless (but symmetrical) smudges from which viewers make out a picture of something quite definite: perhaps a face, or a body or a landscape. What is odd is that, having seen such a picture it is difficult to see anything else—including the different pictures that other people say they see there. This exhibit makes seeing other people’s impressions easier. Visitors can compare with others through recorded thoughts and graphic pictures. .
