[WATCH] Comics and pareidolia, with caricature artist Celestia Ward

We couldn’t read comics without pareidolia, but it causes some problems, too.

Caricature artist Celestia Ward demonstrates the concept of pareidolia, and how seeing things that aren’t there has caused faces on Mars and censorship of comics.

Check out more from Celestia on the Squaring the Strange podcast!

On July 12, AIPT Science and the New York City Skeptics co-presented the first ever AIPT SciPhi-Fest, a virtual festival of science, philosophy, and philosophy of science, as seen through a pop culture lens. Subscribe to the New York City Skeptics YouTube channel to see videos of every talk, to be posted in the coming weeks!
