Gestalt, Gestalt! Where for art thou, Gestalt?


Let's go on a treasure hunt. This week, we're searching for optical illusions associated with perceptual groupings.

  • horizontal and vertical symmetry
  • radial symmetry 
  • figure versus foreground 
  • similarity 
  • proximity 
  • continuation 
  • closure 
  • common fate
Gestalt theory holds that we oversimplify complex images...letting context influence what we see.
