AMZING1`1`1
I’ve climbed that cathedral in Florence…….in Assassins Creed 2!
@kidyakuza and you can’t NEVER understand english…
@LimePink177 Human cant NEVER fully understand the brain..
lol the guy said “nice to see you!”
Comic Sans…
I wonder how he knew which colour was which. I still think he needed some help.
Lol it looks like the other onlookers don’t understand what’s going on… but I think they made it look too dramatic anyway
@Hunterbeaf but think about it, he already knows what its going to look like even before he paints it! i think he knows what he would like his painting to look like!
What I would give to see how he plans these paintings out in his head
The sad thing is nobody on a given street will care about stuff like this.
9:41 most likely paid actors
This man is amazing. :]
also i always thought if you didnt have eyes your eyelids would sink in i guess not though
this is why i dont like believe in science cause almost everything in science is indirect observations. they only know what they can observe directly which isnt much
amazing… the brain is full of mysteries, just think about it, if someone can fullly understand tha brain and how it works , so much about the world could be revealed
such a shame, he can never look at his own master pieces..=(
What’s the song at 8:30?
@gement Except how do you suppose when he’s sitting there painting, even if he memorized what color to make certain things, how he is able to know which color paint he is touching and about to use? There is nobody sitting next to him in these clips guiding him and there’s no way he can “feel” the different colors.
I would call this relative perspective… finger form the depth (even global) and brain can memorize depth. Then putting it on paper is matter of training.
@Th3M4ni4C Color is actually the easy part. One of my college friends was both blind and an artist. She hadn’t seen color since she was five and didn’t remember a lot. She started with color words and what people said should go well together, and she experimented. When she found combinations that made people gasp, she remembered them, and used them to understand how to put together new ones. She got a very intuitive grasp of which colors to ask for to get the effect she wanted.
While the technical difficulty is remarkable, I’m with Mr. Armagan in feeling frustrated that people can’t get past the “talking dog” stage of amazement and actually look at his work. They call him “a blind Turkish man” over and over, as if being Turkish is an additional handicap in its strangeness. People don’t keep Van Gogh’s work around because “it’s so remarkable he could paint with mental illness.” They keep it around because the paintings, independently, are beautiful and remarkable.
@SwiftStyles69 Dr. John Kennedy was the psychologist at the University of Toronto who put Armagan through a series of tests in which he successfully drew a series of solid objects in 3D perspective.
How can he know what color things is?
If he was born blind nobody can tell him that trees are green because he dont know what color green is.
I wonder if he gets the perspective of things getting smaller by hearing, you know he knows as people get further away there voices get smaller maybe he, by that, knows that objects look that way.
its what i call wtf is this shiit believe it or not its gods work
