@dingemansemark @andreasliesenfeld @marlourasenberg @saulalbert @abebab @cdutilhnovaes @fusaroli @davidschlangen @LizStokoe Congratulations for the piece! I can’t agree more, and even feel a bit sad to not have had the opportunity to contribute nor being cited. For >10 years I have been trying to defend this point (not always well received on top), and even made a short movie in 2011 that ends by a figure-ground reversal (see figure): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PPbH6CMw2bU ;)

What a beautiful short movie! That is amazing 🤯

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feeling. I can understand that not being included made you feel sad. Your work is indeed very much part of the "larger waves of like-minded work" we refer to (painfully aware we could only cover a cross-section)

This is not an ending but a beginning, and we hope it will help more fellow travellers across fields find each other. Expect an email about follow up initiatives soon!

@dingemansemark @introspection thanks for reading, reaching out, and posting this film Guillaume - and I’m really looking forward to being involved in future conversations on this topic that include you, your perspective and your history of work in this area :)
