Nice article on illusion and perception - via @timharford. And a reminder of the recent BBC Horizon programme on a related subject: 'Is Seeing Believing?'.
This image is of "Lunagrams (1851/2010), a series of photograms, negatives depicting a lunar phase from 1851 are illuminated by moonlight of the same lunar phase in 2010, providing a translation of images of the past into the present." (via Klosterfelde, Berlin). The exhibition is now finished, but I wanted to remember this process - of translation and repetition - and remember is as I embark on reading 'Difference and Repetition' this week.
