@cliffordbeshers “Cloud on a mountain.” One of the movies we grew up watching was a 1940s one called The Big Cat. One of Preston Foster’s recurring lines when he’s astonished at something, good or bad, was just “Cloud on a mountain.”
@tinyroofnail In a less poetic way, the interplay of light and shadow on complicated natural 3D shapes is a fundamental stimulus of our visual system. I have a friend who asserts that physical books are more satisfying to read because the whole visual system has something to latch onto, tiny shadows and textures that just aren’t there on most displays. A logical corollary is that big, natural visual displays stimulate large sections of the brain.
@cliffordbeshers Fascinating. I don’t think I’ve ever thought about the effect of shadows as part of the texture of physical reading, but I buy the whole argument. In a sense, this alone might make the advantages of physical reading innumerable
@cliffordbeshers Couldn’t find an email for you, but the next one made me think of you as well. Happy to see you back :)
@tinyroofnail Beautiful and on point for someone who works with magnificent views beckoning.
