Chromosteropsis, Yarmouth - by Simon Bill

The subject of Visual Perception featured strongly in the teaching of art until the 80s, when it was dropped because it was not commensurate with Critical Theory. The orthodoxy of Critical Theory is in decline, whilst the study of perception as a branch of neuroscience has advanced rapidly. The response to these developments has been slow in art schools – this talk offers an introduction to Visual Perception and a survey of the subject as it stands today.
