👁Test yourself: Can you tell the difference between music and noise?
🧠Hanako Sawada
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 1960, composer John Cage went on television to share his latest work. But rather than using traditional instruments, Cage appeared surrounded by household clutter, including a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a rubber duck, several radios, and performed "Water Walk." Most people watching had the same question: is this even music? Hanako Sawada explores the boundaries between music and noise. [Directed Héloïse Dorsan-Rachet, narrated by Pen-Pen Chen, music by Jarrett Farkas].

👁Seeing things that aren't there? It's pareidolia
🧠Susan G. Wardle
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Imagine opening a bag of chips, only to find Santa Claus looking back at you. Or turning a corner to see a building smiling at you.

So why exactly does this happen, and how far does this distortion go? Susan G. Wardle explores why we see illusory faces. [Directed by Oksana Kurmaz, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by André Aires].
