The philosopher Thomas Kuhn used the duck/rabbit optical illusion to illustrate Paradigm Shift; a phrase that he coined. He used it to demonstrate when how a shift in scientific understanding occurs - a Paradigm Shift - you are made able to see and understand a thing, a phenomenon, a set of data, differently despite the fact that you are still looking at exactly the same thing as before.

VISUAL PARADIGMS: UPDATE

DOCUMENTING PERFORMANCE: ALEX BAGGALEY
Following on from Performativity, where we explored the documentation of performance, its validity, worth, sucess and autonomy- here is the artist Alex Baggaley talking to Ben Tomlinson about how he approaches this in his work, where his performances move into drawings and paintings.
Ben Tomlinson in conversation with Alex Baggaley
This body of work began as a performance of sorts, how has this
been diluted to contain itself in a sheet of paper with pencil mark-
ings? Do you think the drawings will give the viewer access to your
performance, or does that not matter?
Choosing to do drawings is in some way an admittance that these
experiences can only be felt in the act and not communicated. The
drawings are in no way a consummation of the trips. Mostly they
are an illustration of the lack any representation is capable of
sharing something fully. They can only represent a glimpse.
The choice of using an illustrative style is also to remove them
from any tactile experience - they are strictly visual - although
they do manifest a physical terrain in terms of a scale i.e. each
mark is only the size of a pencil or brush tip and these expand and
conglomerate into a mass describing some feature in a landscape -
accumulating into a density, but that’s just what drawing is.
