Abstract

Adelaide Festival of Ideas session, Chandelier Room West, Freemasons Hall, 1:30pm, Sunday 20th October, 2013. Hosted by Nici Cumpston.Lawrence Weschler is exploring how we see the world and untangling the ways we engage with our visual culture. In this talk, Weschler will consider a spectrum of convergent effects, from the tendency of humans to see patterns where none exist, to the impact of influence homage, allusion, quotation and appropriation, through to outright plagiarism.Lawrence Weschlerhttp://adelaidefestivalofideas.com.au
