Re: [xmca] New Conceptual Image Example

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

Yes, I used almost this exact image on my PowerPoint to 
illustrate "Gestalt" when I did my talks on CHAT in April. 
(See Attached) So my microgenetic report is somewhat 
invalidated. I recognised it as an Escher drawing (or in his 
style) immediately ... so I began by presuming that the 
white and black figures were both birds, and only then 
realised that the black / white figures were birds / fishes, 
and then only because you asked did I notice the variation 
in species and finally the tortoise, so I started to think 
of Darwiniam themes ... and finally wondered what the 
pelican had in its mouth and why?
