Chris Kenny, 'Twelve twigs', 2012 (construction with found twigs) Source I have to admit that I came across this piece on kottke.org and was just delighted with the project of using twigs to give the illusion of dance. As Jason writes on his site: “Artist Chris Kenny uses bits of twig from tree branches to make these interesting found art pieces that exploit the human tendency for pareidolia, including the one above of twigs in motion.” I should also mention that I’ve always found Pareidolia, a subcategory of Apophenia, a pretty fascinating aspect of the human mind and it’s incessant need to create order and meaning where there is neither. Ok. Carry on with your day.
