"Pareidolia, pareidolic illusion is a kind of visual illusions (the so—called "sensory illusions) that occur both in persons with a mental disorder and in healthy people; it consists in the formation of illusory images based on real objects. Thus, a vague and unintelligible visual image is perceived as something distinct and definite - for example, figures of people, animals or fairy—tale creatures in clouds in the starry sky, wallpaper on the wall or carpet" —Wikipedia.

 

The images generated by the neural network are truly beautiful, and at the same time terrifying when the phenomenon of pareidolia comes into force: the pictures seem to come to life, the eye clings to human outlines and the fantasy does not stop at this moment, but continues to complete the small universe in each picture. There is a rumor that we got it from our ancestors when we had to see the enemy in the dark bushes - here we can see how strong this skill is to this day, and how far evolution has gone. Maybe the danger exists to this day?...

​

Okay, I can write too much on this topic, but no. A collection called "Great terrible" is presented to your attention! What is she like? This is a huge amount of super-unique art in different styles that reveal the theme of pareidolia or relate to it in one way or another. Anyone can be in the paintings - a person, a magical entity, a demon, an angel, an animal... roughly speaking, there is only one art, but there are many opinions! Everyone sees this or that image in their own way, and can easily come up with a plot for a picture in front of their eyes. There will be 1000 such paintings.

​

The collection will be published on Foundation, on the Etherium blockchain, and will be sold for the first week at the minimum price - floor price: 0,02 eth! When more and more people become interested in the collection, the price list will increase accordingly. Each nft gives you the opportunity to participate in the drawing! Read about it below.

​

50% of the amount received from the NFT will be raffled among the owners of 1 or more NFTs from this collection! However, you can increase your chances! If 1 nft from a collection of 1000 items is 0.001%, then each subsequent acquired nft will increase the chance of winning! The drawing will take place in the open Discord channel live, with the help of a randomizer.

​

So how are these 50% calculated?

50% of the net profit falls into the raffle fund. Net profit is calculated based on the costs of placement, price setting and site commission:

Net profit = dirty profit - (site commission 15% - price setting ~3$ - placement ~3$)

​

Our goal is to spread information about this phenomenon in the world of NFT, so that people will feel the unique gift we have inherited from the past. I, as a person with complex optical astigmatism and vision -3,5, constantly see some images in the dark and not only... especially in the bushes, door slits, in the woods... brrr. Or, for example, instead of a cat, I see boots in the same place. I think every person (not only with poor eyesight) often imagined human and not very silhouettes where they should not be.

​

(Also, I think you would like to share similar stories about the manifestation of pareidolia (I remind you, healthy and sick people have it), and that's why I'm open to any conversations on this topic on Instagram, discord server and Twitter! I would like to surround my creativity with sincere people who will become a good community!)

​

On my own behalf, I would like to add that there are a lot of oddities in the world, and that is why they are so interesting. Even the most insignificant things can be beaten in this way!
