Researching Pareidolia?
This is the place to start:
Remember, Pareidolia was only first used in 1994.
Collected at the bottom are links to some of the best examples on the internet.

Throughout our history,
mankind has recognized replicas in objects.
During that time,
many creatives have come across the curiosity -
giving it their own twist:
complete with new vocabulary
and the most unique techniques and applications.
Here's mine:

Abstract Extractionism™
An Art Movement!

www.flickr.com

Abstract Extractionism is the study and practice of
the Recognition of an idea, image, scene or other
abstract in Abstraction and the subsequent Extraction
of it, utilizing the Cavazos Method, in part or in whole.



The Cavazos Method™

1: ABSTRACTION:
Begin with an object that will be used for inspiration (Matrix). This can be
anything abstract OR abstracted.

2: RECOGNITION:
The artist's Recognition can vary from Replica to Abstraction.

3: PRESERVATION:
Depending on the amount of Extraction that will take place, the artist should
Preserve the Matrix before Extracting the Recognition; keeping in mind the
Presentation.

4: EXTRACTION:
From sculpting away, to merely pointing it out, the artist coax's
the suggestion from the Matrix.

5: PRESENTATION:
Exhibition of the Abstract (Matrix) and Extract varies greatly and can be
anything from a simple side-by-side presentation to elaborate viewer
interactivity that reveals the Extraction.

Abstract Extractionism and the Cavazos Method are a Trademark of Ismael Cavazos.

A key characteristic of the field is that there is no one meta term that
is universally recognized by all to describe and categorize the
phenomenon. Therefore, Abstract Extractionism is also about looking
closely at how past and current creatives dealt/deal with the subject.

Past attempts at defining Abstract Extractionism:
Most definitions have a bias either towards chance/random or destiny/divinely ordained.
Dali's bias is towards a state of mind. Rob Nye's bias is towards his own work - his definition is limited in it's scope.


First, witness, as a writer freely uses three
of the words listed on this site interchangeably...


Horace Walpole's Serendipity
invented 1754

Cozen's New Method
invented 1785

Carl Jung's Synchronicity
invented 1875 - 1961

Dali's Paranoiac-Critical Method
invented 1930's

Klaus Conrad's Apophenia
invented 1958

Steven Goldstein's Pareidolia
invented 1994

Rob Nye's Extractionism
invented 2000

Wikipedia's Religious Pareidolia
invented 2003-4

Ismael Cavazos' Abstract Extractionism

Referred to, but missused vocabulary:
Anthropomorphism

Simulacra

Eidetic



Abstract Extraction is the Forefather of the Visual Pun (top left corner), which is the Forefather of Optical Illusions.

Where did this word, pareidolia, come from? Why isn't pareidolia in my dictionary? Is pareidolia the right word for the job? Pariedolia is the erroneous observation of images, Abstract Extractionism is the recognition of replicas (making no judgements as to why). By writing pareidolia as pariedolia, I hope to get those searching incorrectly. But I need more people to link to Pareidolia.us so that the page of pareidolia can move up higher on the search engine!! Throughout our history, mankind has recognized replicas in objects.

Those who study pareidolia or use it as an art will more than likely come across scribblism, abstract extractionism, the secret of the sages. Why is it that pareidolia cannot be found in print dictionaries?
