    Short and Sweet i-Perception Stacking Chairs: Local Sense January-February 2018, 1–5 ! The Author(s) 2018 DOI: 10.1177/2041669517752372 and Global Nonsense journals.sagepub.com/home/ipe Nicholas E. Scott-Samuel University of Bristol, UK Hiroshi Ashida Kyoto University, Japan P. George Lovell University of Abertay Dundee, School of Social and Health Sciences, UK Tim S. Meese Aston University, School of Life and Health Sciences, Birmingham, UK D. Samuel Schwarzkopf University College London, UK Abstract We report a confusing stimulus which demonstrates the power of local interpretation of three- dimensional structure to disrupt a coherent global perception. Keywords 3D perception, depth, perception, illusion Figure 1 shows a photograph of nine stackable chairs, leaning back at an angle against a wall. For all observers (n ¼ 40þ, recruited ad hoc via Facebook, where the stimulus was displayed), this image elicits confusion. If the number of chairs is reduced below four, the effect disappears. Figure 2(a) is an annotated version of Figure 1. The local interpretation of three-dimensional structure – at each ‘corner’, i.e. AD, BC and EF – is generally unambiguous (apart from AD, which flips in depth in a Necker-cube-like manner for some observers). But the repetition of the stacked elements along the virtual contours AD, BC and, to a lesser extent, EF suggests a change in depth along those lines which does not actually exist. Figure 2(b) makes this explicit: an abstracted version of the image reveals an alternative interpretation, which fails to correspond to reality – the repetitive structure now looks more like a stack of quadrilaterals rising from the ground plane.

This Agreement has been developed in the context of the University’s Strategic Plan for the period 2015 to 2020. The Strategic Plan’s key objectives reflect the University’s commitment to fair access across the student lifecycle. Our first objective is ‘to produce satisfied graduates who get great jobs’, which includes ambitious targets for student retention, student satisfaction and graduate employment. Our second objective is ‘to help grow Cornwall’, which includes a commitment to double the number of students recruited from the county from 2013-14 levels by 2020. This objective will be achieved through a sharpened focus on recruiting students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Strategic Plan states: ‘We will work with other agencies in the region to build support systems to retain more of our creative talent for the benefit of Cornwall.

The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.
