so tv creates a sense of space in an illusory space, or in a pictorial space you might call it, as in the case of looking at a photograph of a forest.

so without one eye being used there is degradation. ~ For the last hundred years, there has been great debate and strides taken to disavow perspective, and all forms of narrative that you find in paintings made before the advent of photography which made mimicry of the real world in the form...

but without the 3d space and our 3d composition and the 3d realm we exist in there would not be the 2d optics that we use to create 3d. 2d is almost a subcategory of 3d in a sense. would you agree with this?

you find it to be a stretch because vision is such an intricate process of 2D information processing before 3D representation occurs?

maybe i am misunderstanding you. do you see 3D when you close one eye?

thanks for all the info Russ.

thanks. i just bought a copy.

i meant to say when i close one eye, i still perceive depth.

but when i close my eyes i still see depth. it doesn't seem like 3d is necessitated by having two eyes. a retina is a tissue of the eye. it is a material, 3d, thing. what do you mean "they have two dimensions"?

retinas have no depth? i believe you mean they do not read depth, they read 2d that is interpreted into 3D? are point particles 1d? thanks for all this. i had to really push it so that i am fully understanding the material. i have to write an essay on planes in art, defining...

how do we know they are two d images? do we think this because light is called 2d? it is recognized in our brains as 2d because we call light 2d? or for another reason? what are the guidelines for calling something two d? that is possesses no depth? if photons have h and w then why not...

I appreciate that you tried to help, but I am looking for exact answers to the questions i posted. I would appreciate answers on these questions.

I am sure this question has been asked many times before. I searched for a thread on this topic and could not find one. I am an artist. I am looking for an answer on the nature of sight. What is the best explanation for how sight occurs. Do we see a 3D world illuminated by 2D photons? Can we...
