I’ve just realized there is one more scary face in the Iron Maiden’s “Brave New World” artwork. This time I was listening to it on YouTube through Xbox with large art cover spread across tv screen. On the left of Eddie (front Cloud Monster Head), right under the “screamer” I saw years ago, I now noticed there is something like a piranha head! Took me years to see it! I looked around a bit more, wondering if there were more, and I think there is one! There is a thing kind of biting Eddie’s right cheek – I saw kind of eyes sockets and mouth… so I wonder if there are more?
I think BNW artwork was intended to have those images on purpose… or not?! I never saw that stuff in Maiden’s art before, but maybe this stuff in “Brave New World” artwork inspired them write a song and make up the story of Benjamin Bragg who was seriously and afflicted with nightmares he started painting.
That would be all nothing, but it’s funny, I see faces in chaotic splashes art (or not art at all), or in pictures of tree branches. I wondered if there is an actual term for people seeing images in graphics orderly or chaotic that don’t show at first glance. I even made my own term for it – situational objecto-chaos scrutinism. Kinda heavy, huh? Well, the English speaking crowd can sigh with relief – I won’t impose that term on anyone, because there is a proper word I found this week – pareidolia (see link below). Looks like a real thing with a name. So – other people experience it too!. I’m relieved.
And yet, still I wonder – how much of that stuff that is seen in chaos is intended to be there?!
