INTRODUCTION

Most people assume everyone sees the world the same way. This can be expected because people are not able to compare what they see to what someone else sees. This widely accepted assumption, however, is inaccurate. There is evidence that each person’s perception of the world is different if only in minor ways. // As children, we often question our perception of the world and its components. Is my red the same as your red? Could my square be your circle and my circle be your triangle? The way we view our surroundings is based on our personal perceptions and impressions that may often be distorted by our experiences, circumstances, knowledge and preconceptions. Our perception of colors, shapes and objects is unique to each one of us. The impression left on us by everything we see is also very subjective. // Perception may not be what you think it is. Perception is not just a collection of inputs from our sensory system. Instead, it is the brain’s interpretation of stimuli which is based on an individual’s genetics and past experiences. Perception is more than just the analysis of sensation. // Perception is the formation of a holistic image based on certain feelings and sensations. The outside world exerts influence on nerve endings in the sensory organs (skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, muscles). Excitation signals corresponding to tactile, visual, acoustic, olfactory, gustatory, and motive sensations are transmitted to the brain with each receptor sending information about the characteristics of certain actions to the brain. The image of an object or event is recreated in the nervous system based on indications of numerous receptors. As a result of perception we don’t feel a chaotic amount of sensations (splotches of light, sounds, or sensations) but, instead, are able to distinguish objects, people, and events. We filter out most of the stimuli that surround us. Some of those stimuli, however, have properties that make us more likely to pay them attention. Perceptions vary from person to person. Different people perceive different things about the same situation. But more than that, we assign different meanings to what we perceive. And the meanings might change for a certain person. One might change one’s perspective or simply make things mean something else. Banksy’s work is ideal in presenting the idea of people having different perceptions of the same stimulus, because of the varied opinions.

OPINIONS // WHAT IS PERCEPTION?

Perceptions are the basis of all actions. Decisions, judgements, attitudes, emotions, all the choices made by individuals, organizations, and communities are based on the perceptions of the people involved. Understanding the concept of perception is necessary for making correct decisions and choices. Perceptions are what people think that they see in a given situation. Two people can have different perceptions of the same situation. Two people can look at a drug addict with one seeing a criminal and the other seeing a victim of circumstance, a third person could claim to see a case of mental illness. According to different frames of judgement, each could be correct. When each of these people listens to the other with the intent to understand, their individual comprehension of the event increases. This helps their perception become more complete and accurate. This increases the likelihood of correct and beneficial decisions and actions. // Perception is our sensory experience of the world around us and involves both the recognition of environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli. Through the perceptual process, we gain information about properties and elements of the environment that are critical to our survival. Perception not only creates our experience of the world around us; it allows us to act within our environment. Perception includes the five senses; touch, sight, taste smell and taste. It also includes what is known as proprioception, a set of senses involving the ability to detect changes in body positions and movements. It also involves the cognitive processes required to process information, such as recognizing the face of a friend or detecting a familiar scent.

HOW D O W E P E RC E I V E?

WHAT IS PERCEPTION?

THE PERCEPTUAL PROCESS ALLOWS US TO EXPERIENCE THE WORLD AROUND US.

The perceptual process is a sequence of steps that begins with the environment and leads to our perception of a stimulus and an action in response to the stimulus. You do not spend a great deal of time thinking about the actual process that occurs when you perceive the many stimuli that surround you at any given moment. The process of transforming the light that falls on your retinas into an actual visual image happens unconsciously and automatically. The subtle changes in pressure against your skin that allow you to feel an object occur without a single thought. In order to fully understand how the perception process works, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start by breaking down each step. // The perceptual process allows us to experience the world around us. Take a moment to think of all the things you perceive on a daily basis. At any given moment, you might see familiar objects in your environment, feel the touch of objects and people against your skin, smell the aroma of a home-cooked meal and hear the sound of music playing in your next door neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment. All of these things help make up our conscious experience and allow us to interact with the people and objects around us. In this overview of perception and the perceptual process, we will learn more about how we go from detecting stimuli in the environment to actually taking action based on that information.

STIMULI SENSATION

The billions of signals that the brain receives every second are transformed into something we perceive: a certain object, person, event, etc. We do not perceive everything that influences us but only what our brain considers as the most important at that moment.

MEANING

P E RC E P T UA L P RO C E S S 16

The Environmental Stimulus The world is full of stimuli that can attract our attention through various senses. The environmental stimulus is everything in our environment that has the potential to be perceived.This might include anything that can be seen, touched, tasted, smelled or heard. It might also involve the sense of proprioception, such as the movements of the arms and legs or the change in position of the body in relation to objects in the environment. For example, imagine that you are out on a morning jog at your local park. As you perform your workout, there are a wide variety of environmental stimuli that might capture your attention. The tree branches are swaying in the slight breeze; a man is out on the grass playing fetch with his Golden Retriever; a car drives past with the windows rolled down and the music blaring; a duck splashes in a nearby pond. All of these things represent the environmental stimuli, serving as a starting point for the perceptual process.

The Attended Stimulus

OPINIONS //

The attended stimulus is the specific object in the environment on which our attention is focused. In many cases, we might focus on stimuli that are familiar to us, such as the face of a friend in a crowd of strangers at the local coffee shop. In other instances, we are likely to attend to stimuli that have some degree of novelty.From our earlier example, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagine that during your morning job you focus your attention on the duck floating in the nearby pond. The duck represents the attended stimulus. During the next step of the perceptual process, the visual process will progress.

The Image on the Retina Next, the attended stimulus is formed as an image on the retina. The first part of this process involves the light actually passing through the cornea and pupil and onto the lens of the eye. The cornea helps focus the light as it enters the eye, and the iris of the eye controls the size of the pupils in order to determine how much light to let in. The cornea and lens act together to project an inverted image on the retina.As you might already be aware, the image on the retina is actually upside down from the actual image in the environment. At this stage of the perceptual process, this is not terribly important. The image has still not been perceived, and this visual information will be changed even more dramatically in the next step of the process.

Transduction

WHAT IS PERCEPTION?

The image on the retina is then transformed into electrical signals in a process known as transduction. This allows the visual messages to be transmitted to the brain to be interpreted.The retina contains many photoreceptor cells. These cells contain proteins known as rods and cones. Rods are primarily for seeing things in low light, while cones are associated with detecting color and shapes at normal light levels.The rods and cones contain a molecule called retinal, which is responsible for transducing the light into visual signals that are then transmitted via nerve impulses.

Neural Processing The electrical signals then undergo neural processing. The path followed by a particular signal depends on what type of signal it is (i.e. an auditory signal or a visual signal).Through the series of interconnect neurons located throughout the body, electrical signals are propagated from the receptors cells to the brain. In our previous example, the image of duck floating in the pond is received as light on the retina, which is then transduced into an electrical signal and then processed through the neurons in the visual network. In the next step you will actually perceive the stimuli and become aware of its presence in the environment.

Perception In the next step of the perception process, we actually perceive the stimulus object in the environment. It is at this point that we become consciously aware of the stimulus. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consider our previous example, in which we imagined that you were out for a morning jog in the park. At the perception stage, you have become aware of that there is something out on the pond to perceive. Now, it is one thing to be aware of stimuli in the environment, and quite another to actually become fully consciously aware of what we have perceived. In the next stage of the perceptual process, we will sort the perceived information into meaningful categories.

Recognition Perception doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just involve becoming consciously aware of the stimuli. It is also necessary for our brain to categorize and interpret what it is we are sensing. Our ability to interpret and give meaning to the object is the next step, known as recognition. Continuing our example, it is at the recognition stage of the perceptual process that you realize that there is a duck floating on the water. The recognition stage is an essential part of perception since it allows us to make sense of the world around us. By placing objects in meaningful categories, we are able to understand and react to the world around us.

Action The final step of the perceptual process involves some sort of action in response to the environmental stimulus. This could involve a variety of actions, such as turning your head for a closer look or turning away to look at something else.The action phase of perceptual development involves some type of motor action that occurs in response to the perceived and recognized stimulus. This might involve a major action, like running toward a person in distress, or something as subtle as blinking your eyes in response to a puff of dust blowing through the air.

BANKSY’S WORK WILL SERVE AS THE STIMULUS

WHO IS BANKSY? 20

OPINIONS // Maid in London by Banksy WHO IS BANKSY?

Banksy is the pseudonym of a "guerrilla" street artist known for his controversial, and often politically themed, stenciled pieces. Banksy is believed to have been born in Bristol, England, around 1974. Banksy rose to prominence for his provocative stenciled pieces in the late 1990s. He is the subject of a 2010 documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop, which looks at the relationship between commercial and street art. // Banksy began his career as a graffiti artist in the early 1990s, in Bristol's graffiti gang DryBreadZ Crew. Although his early work was largely freehand, Banksy used stencils on occasion. In the late '90s, he began using stencils predominantly. His work became more widely recognized around Bristol and in London, as his signature style developed. // His artwork is characterized by striking images, often combined with slogans. His work often engages political themes, satirically critiquing war, capitalism, hypocrisy and greed. Common subjects include rats, apes, policemen, members of the royal family, and children. In addition to his two-dimensional work, he is known for his installation artwork. One of the most celebrated of these pieces, which featured a live elephant painted with a Victorian wallpaper pattern, sparked controversy among animal rights activists. // Other pieces have drawn attention for their edgy themes or the boldness of their execution. His work on the West Bank barrier, between Israel and Palestine, received significant media attention in 2005. He is also known for his use of copyrighted material and subversion of classic images. An example of this is Banksy's version of Monet's famous series of water lilies paintings, adapted by Banksy to include drifting trash and debris. Banksy's worldwide fame has transformed his artwork from acts of vandalism to sought-after high art pieces. Journalist Max Foster has referred to the rising prices of graffiti as street art as "the Banksy effect." Interest in Banksy escalated with the release of the 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. The film was premiered Banksy's identity remains unknown, despite intense at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award. speculation. Two names most often suggested are Robert // In October 2013, Banksy took to the streets of New York City. There he Banks and Robin Gunningham. Pictures that surfaced pledged to create a new piece of art for each day of his residency. As he of a man who was supposedly Banksy pointed toward explained to the Village Voice, "The plan is to live here, react to things, Gunningham, an artist who was born in Bristol in 1973. see the sightsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and paint on them. Some of it will be pretty elaborate, Gunningham moved to London around 2000, a timeline and some will just be a scrawl on a toilet wall." During that month, he that correlates with the progression of Banksy's artwork. also sold some of his works on the street for $60 a piece, well below the market value for.

OPINIONS //

Mildly funny cartoons posted in public places? Banksy is a hell of a hype artist and con artist. Jesus , the press will just repeat any old bullshit he spouts out. This is art for idiots. Art should be more than a cheap gimmick, or a one-liner joke. It is not easy to create something beautiful that will stand the test of time. Banksy is a product of the short attention span celebrity culture he professes to oppose. What’s wrong with learning something in order to appreciate art? Lots of things can take a little effort to get; jazz, serious novels, experimental music , poetry. Are we just throwing everything out the window that can’t be understood in 30 seconds by anyone who sees it? No wonder hollywood people love Banksy, they have the exact same mentality as he does. It’s no surprise that he thinks the most talented people go into advertising, as his work is advertising for BANKSY, the brand name.

PERCEPTION 02

In my day, graffiti artists had to contend with CHAKA, ZESER and TYKE. The policeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsession with stopping graffiti, attack dogs in the yards, and the hassle of getting good-quality ink. We went into Pearl and racked cans like actual criminals, and sometimes we got busted and went to jail. Sometimes someone you knew caught the third rail and died and they found his body, chewed by rats, days later. And if you put your beer bottle down for two seconds in the park, KRENZ tagged it. So Banksy is a candy-ass BITCH, by me, and he needs to spend a 72-hour hold in LA County before he can even be called a graffiti artist.

I think Banksy could be probably one of the most wise artists out there. The Government, community have free art knocking at their door and they put it down for a crime. You know they’re not getting any congratulations, or a pat on the back or getting paid to do it, its a free art form and it should be respected. Banksy’s art has been priced when it really shouldnt be, because it is so imaginative and inspiring and intellegent and also shows a message you probably wouldn’t think about every day, his art is something to stop at look at and think about twice. It’s important to keep the truthfullness of where graffiti came from, which is why the same techniques are still used today, if you strive away from something so good, so outstanding, so changing it wouldn’t be what it is today, its about spreading the word instead of limiting it. If you change something to a degree it wouldnt be what you intended it would be different, it has to be perfect, one mistake and that just ruins the whole perspective of everything you wanted. It’s like passing down gold in a family tree to preserve the history of where it came from. Banksy’s made history. People forget that if it wasnt for graffiti and stenciling, there would be no king Banksy. Most of the images you see today are based or come from graffiti.

I don’t like him. He’s no better than these scab artists that run around tagging on everything they can find. On top of the fact that he’s breaking the law when he creates his art, he is also a walking contradiction. I don’t find anything he’s done clever. It is vandalism. Whether it is art or not is irrelevent. It should be removed, along with all illegal graffiti, and whoever is responsible, whether it is ‘Banksy’ or not, needs to be hunted down and prosecuted.

Charlie Brooker Henry Macbride Steven Ruiz Jada Wilson

When it comes to our perceptions of the world around us, you might assume that what you see is what you get. The way you see the world is heavily influenced (and biased) by your own past experiences, expectations, motivations, beliefs, emotions, and even your culture. In psychology, this is what is known as a perceptual set. A perceptual set is basically a tendency to view things only in a certain way. Perceptual sets can impact how we interpret and respond to the world around us and can be influenced by a number of different factors. // Perception can also be influenced by an individual’s expectations, motives, and interests. The term perceptual set refers to the tendency to perceive objects or situations from a particular frame of reference. Perceptual sets usually lead us to reasonably accurate conclusions. If they didn’t, we would develop new perceptual sets that were more accurate. But sometimes a perceptual set can lead us astray. Someone with an avid interest in UFOs might readily interpret unusual cloud formations as a fleet of alien spacecraft. // In one experiment that illustrates this tendency, participants were presented with different non-words, such as “sael.” Those who were told that they would be reading boating-related words read the word as “sail,” while those who were told to expect animal-related words read it as “seal.” // A perceptual set is a good example of what is known as top-down processing. In top-down processing, perceptions begin with the most general and move toward the more specific. Such perceptions are heavily influenced by expectations and prior knowledge. If we expect something to appear in a certain way, we are more likely to perceive it according to our expectations. // Existing schemas, mental frameworks, and concepts often guide perceptual sets. People have a strong schema for faces, making it easier to recognize familiar human faces in the world around us. It also means that when we look at an ambiguous image, we are more likely to see it as a face than some other type of object.

P E RC E P T UA L S E T S

OPINIONS // CONCLUSION

Motivation can play an important role in perceptual sets and how we interpret the world around us. If we are rooting for our favorite sports team, we might be motivated to view members of the opposing team as overly aggressive, weak, or incompetent. In one classic experiment, researchers deprived participants of food for several hours. When they were later shown a set of ambiguous images, those who had been food-deprived were far more likely to interpret the images as food-related objects. Because they were hungry, they were more motivated to see the images in a certain way. // Expectations also play an important role. If we expect people to behave certain ways in certain situations, these expectations can influence how we perceive these people and their roles. One of the classic experiments on the impact of expectation on perceptual sets involved showing participants either a series of numbers or letters. Then, the participants were show an ambiguous image that could either be interpreted as the number 13 or the letter B. Those who had viewed the numbers were more likely to see it as a 13, while those who had viewed the letters were more likely to see it as the letter B. // Culture also influences how we perceive people, objects, and situations. Surprisingly, researchers have found that people from different cultures even tend to perceive perspective and depth cues differently. // Emotions can have a dramatic impact on how we perceive the world around us. If we are angry, we might be more likely to perceive hostility in others. One experiment demonstrated that when people came to associate a nonsense syllable with mild electrical shocks, they experienced physiological reactions to the syllable even when it was presented subliminally. // Attitudes can also have a powerful influence on perception. In one experiment, Gordon Allport demonstrated that prejudice could have an influence on how quickly people categorize people of various races.
