AB - "Malperception", which is "Hoffman's collaboration with media Artist Perry Hoberman[,] allows for an exploration of the intersection of perception and cognition that is at once playful and serious, exceeding the conventional boundaries of both clinical and artistic practice.
To explore this intersection, Hoberman and Hoffman posit a series of aberrant conditions that reveal the inner workings of the brain. While much of western culture continues to labor under the burden of rationalism and positivism – fancy terms for outworn cliches such as 'seeing is believing' – the representational capacity of images, sounds and words seems to let us down at every turn. To what degree do factors such as expectation, enculturation and narrative inflect our most basic understanding of the world around us? Hoberman and Hoffman have each been pursuing these questions within their discrete fields of interactive art and cognitive science respectively for decades. Through their collaboration, the Malperception project affords the opportunity to examine both issues of perception and cognition and a provocative experiment at the intersection of art and science." – Vectors Journal Editorial Staff
