“Paradolia”

Featured Video Play Icon

In “Paradolia,” filmmaker Susi Sie plays with pareidolia, our tendency to seek patterns in nebulous data — like faces on a slice of toast. Droplets of miscible and immiscible fluids collide, part, and mix in each sequence, providing plenty of fodder for an active imagination. For myself, my brain especially likes assigning cartoon expressions to well-spaced drops in the video. What do you see? (Video and image credit: S. Sie)
