The Vision Revolution : How The Latest Research Overturns Everything We Thought We Knew About Human Vision

Attribution
Mark ChangiziPublication Details
BookBenbella Books2009Description
Primates evolved binocular vision (both eyes facing forward) so that they can see in three dimensions, critical as they jumped from branch to branch. The Vision Revolution answers these questions, and proves, with the detailed results of Changizi’s fieldwork, that the answers are very different than traditionally believed.

3D Shape : Its Unique Place In Visual Perception

Attribution
Zygmunt PizloPublication Details
BookMIT Press2008Description
Pizlo argues that once shape is understood to be unique among visual attributes and the perceptual mechanisms underlying shape are seen to be different from other perceptual mechanisms, the research on shape becomes coherent and experimental findings no longer seem to contradict each other. A single theory of shape perception is thus possible, and Pizlo offers a theoretical treatment that explains how a three-dimensional shape percept is produced from a two-dimensional retinal image, assuming only that the image has been organized into two-dimensional shapes.

The Rhetoric Of Perspective : Realism And Illusionism In Seventeenth-century Dutch Still-life Painting

Attribution
Hanneke GrootenboerPublication Details
BookUniversity of Chicago Press2005Links
Description
Connecting contemporary critical theory with close readings of seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture, The Rhetoric of Perspective puts forth the claim that painting is a form of thinking and that perspective functions as the language of the image. Offering an original theory of perspective’s impact on pictorial representation, the act of looking, and the understanding of truth in painting, Grootenboer shows how these paintings both question the status of representation and explore the limits and credibility of perception.
