processing pathways for the visual medium

things you can do with that REPL:

imitation (mimesis): replicating as exactly as possible something else that your eyes see impression: catching and using the shorthand that your visual processing uses representation: working to indicate a thing to you via the visual medium, not necessarily by replicating it abstraction: taking some specific quality of a subject, and working to convey that function: facilitating a purpose

cubism: impression + abstraction + representation impressionism: impression composition: representation + impression design: representation + abstraction + function
