The centerpiece
Everyone sees the same drawing. No one sees the same thing.
Convergence is a working study of visual perception. Look at one ambiguous drawing, describe what you see, then step into a public wall of responses from everyone who looked before you.
- 1Look at the drawing without being told what it is.
- 2Describe what you see in your own words.
- 3See how differently other people read the same image.
