| summary | This eight-lecture series (of one hour each) will consist of four lectures overviewing recent scientific studies on two- and three-dimensional space perception by the human brain interleaved with four complementary lectures analyzing the depiction of space and its symbolic implications in the history of pictorial art.
The scientific studies focus on novel results on the interplay of various depth cues in the perception of objects and the space they occupy. The specific topics are, first, the representation of stereoscopic and monocular depth in the human brain; second, the geometric structures that lead to a “stereoscopic” perception of vivid depth from geometric depth cues; third, an analysis of how the brain resolves ambiguous depth from monocular texture cues; and fourth, the use of depth and symmetry in the brain’s representation of objects and faces.
The interleaved lectures on the artistic representation of space are designed to synchronize with, and expand upon the significance of, the scientific studies. First, an overview of the early history of perspective as a depth cue in painting from Greece to the Renaissance; second, the more problematic development of advanced (two- and three-point) perspective up to the twentieth century; third, the representation of space and depth ambiguity in 20th-century art, and finally, the complex interplay of symmetry and asymmetry in pictorial composition. |
