Believing is Seeing:  An Artist and a Scientist Discuss Perception
Speaker: Dr. Farhad Dastur, Psychology & Nicoletta Baumeister BFA
​

Imagine two shapes: one for the word “bouba” and one for the word “kiki.” Was bouba rounded while kiki had angles? Why do people see objects in abstract art?  How can the same dress be different colours to different people? In this image-rich talk, a visual artist and a cognitive scientist reveal how perception is more subtle, more extraordinary, and more interesting that we ever imagined

NICOLETTA  BAUMEISTER BFA, AFCA
In the Realm of Perception
Over forty pieces, spanning thirty years of work exploring the human act of making sense out of sensation.
January 19 - March 24/2019  
Surrey Art Gallery 13750 88th Avenue
                            
 From the sheer mechanics involved as phenomena is apprehended by the senses, to the work of the brain receiving, sorting and reconstructing the neural impulses what are the factors that  make up our perception of the world?  What are the embedded structures through which  millions of bits of incoming information are filtered? On which criteria do we fashion our interior sense of the exterior world?  What is the role of pattern and how do we make meaning? What are the navigational charts and strategies that allow us to understand the flow of being alive? How is the coming age of algorithms, virtual reality and artificial intelligence going to affect our environment and our interaction with it?

PAINTING IN OIL:   

In January 2014 and January 2015  I attended oil painting courses
at the Scottsdale Art School in Arizona.

I have so thoroughly enjoyed learning a new medium and feel that I am slowly

getting the hang of it. Last January the workshop was with Daniel Keyes. 
If you love floral paintings, look this painter up.  His work is truly gorgeous!

Most of my oils have been sold, but there are a few available for purchase on 
 www.DailyPaintworks.com

BLOG: 
I have fired up a blog which has proven a challenge to keeping up!  I hope to post the occasional essay,  as well as
keep subscribers up to date on works coming out of  the studio.
