andy Warhol and satyr face 100 BC

This forum focuses on the artistic "why" and "what" more than the technical "how". Put more philosophical (but still art and glass related) posts here.

You are experiencing pareidolia contained within the broader psychological category of apophenia. Here's a helpful URL:

To broaden this thread, if I'm right, and this is a case of parediolia..it suggests that the semiotic or "communication" theory of Art is flawed at the core. Art relies more on ambiguity of meaning, rather than an attempt to noiselessly transmit precise meaning.
