Pareidolia

Information

(Mostly) visual meaning in a seemingly meaningless organisation of objects or subject matter. A leading line to the recognisable.

Most commonly exhibited through perceived faces, as there is an inherent social instinct to recognise another, alot of the time - especially in unknown places.

This group is here for members to capture the visual phenonema of pareidolia and share with other members. Feel free to share anything that you find interesting to do with this subject. All the best :-)

Comment by ddw on Tuesday: I can see both of your interpretations when looking at Zorica's image comment. Intriguing :-) To chip in: from above, I can see a sawn off monster foot with very long phalanges.

Comment by MH//ANTIPODE on Tuesday: well, what i see is a guy with a brain tumor whizzling a song while a small monkey is eating his eyeball out... but yeah, guess that's still some animal activity

Comment by Zorica Obradović on Tuesday: of course, i see the heart. The world around us mostly sees an animal. Photo title is "spandrel"

Comment by Oberdada Jr. on December 21, 2025 at 3:15pm: One of my favourites is the study by some psychologists who played white noise to participants and they had to say if the song White Christmas was present in the noise. (In fact it never was.) The study's finding was that those who had enjoyed a cup of coffee and were stressed in general were more prone to hear the song.
