School of Unlearning Jack Uldrich Anamorphosis: Seek New Perspectives and Unlearn August 15, 2013
[ Here ] is a picture of Hans Holbein’s painting, The Ambassadors. Upon first glance, it doesn’t look like anything terrible special. After further reflection, however, you may notice a strange figure near the bottom center of the painting. You might be surprised to learn that it is a skull. The skull can only be clearly seen when the painting is viewed from _a sharp angle_ (http://culturaleducation.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/anamorphosis/) . The painter employs a technique known as _anamorphosis_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphosis) –meaning that the viewer must adopt a different perspective in order to reconstitute the image. If we wish to remain open to unlearning, it is helpful to purposely distort our own perspective from time to time. Why? Because you may just discover a hidden gem that has been hiding in plain sight. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
