Language

You are fluent in this language (and don’t even know it) | Christoph Niemann



TED

Without realizing it, we’re fluent in the language of pictures, says illustrator Christoph Niemann. In a charming talk packed with witty, whimsical drawings, Niemann takes us on a hilarious visual tour that shows how artists tap into our emotions and minds — all without words.

  1. I had to pause the video at 6:45 because just yesterday I was scrolling through some images online and an image like this appeared in the list, why I have no clue. It was in fact spontaneous and random, but wasn't this exact pic, just a pic of headphones. Now when my eyes scanned this pic my damn brain thought it was a cool looking pipe. It took a few seconds to recognize what it really was. I was even going to show my wife but didn't. Now here I sit watching this and my mind is completely blown. How is it through random sporadic time space can I come across this in this form and fashion. It's not telepathy. It's not a snag in the matrix. What exactly is it. Very interesting to say the least.

  2. Presentation is good. Title is awful though. People aren't fluid in the "language" of images until they've been taught what an image/symbol means or have had a relevant similar experience so our brains have an idea/memory to relate the image to.

  3. Images are not a language. These TED Talks are getting stupid.

    Definition: "the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way."
    Images fail that definition multiple times, at least 3 times.

  4. Kind of cringey how he shows his New Yorker cover and expects the audience to clap even though most of them likely have no idea that it’s a reference to Fukushima (nuclear warning symbol as Sakura petals ☢️?)
