The way the article started out was interesting with the comparison of dimensions between the frog and the frogs skin. "Even our language, like our paper, often lacks immediate capacity to communicate a sense of dimensional complexity." This sentence was very thought provoking to me. It made me think about how when we know a language fluently it is just what it is. After awhile there seems to be nothing special about it and it is more simple than complex. When trying to learn a new language, the complexity comes out a bit more.
The image of the stereo illustrations was intriguing to me. It is cool to see how the side by side images fuse together. In addition, I found that my eyes jumped rapidly back and forth between the images instead of just focusing on one or the other. Once the article began talking about Galileo and sunspots I honestly lost interest and found myself not paying as close attention as before. I decided to watch the video clip.
The visuals that went along with this video helped to captivate my interest more than the article. It was different seeing all of the subways and maps with various lines and colors all over them to distinguish various things/patterns. I really enjoyed looking at the map of all of the McDonalds around the US. It was funny because when I first saw the map I thought about how intriguing it was and then I saw the caption that is was illustrating all of the McDonalds and I just laughed. It is fascinating how any piece of data can be made into an art. The visual below also stuck out to me because I want to be an elementary school teacher, and a lot of the time people do not realize how much is going on in the brain so early on in life. This visual really gets the point across.
