Episode 29: The Invisible Gorilla and Second-Guessing What You See
"I saw it with my own eyes." Our sight is our most trustworthy sense, and we tend to forget just how fallible it can be. With a look at the famous Invisible Gorilla Test, and Mark Doty's book The Art of Description, we explore how to bring visual descriptions to life by incorporating uncertainty.
Mentioned in this episode: Mark Doty, The Art of Description (2010), Ian McEwan, Atonement (2001).
Featured guest: Emily Monaco from Paris, France.
Music: Carole Cassier
