Explorations in Perception

I started reading See Yourself Sensing: Redefining Human Perception by Madeline Schwartzman, and boy, is it a trip. The book is a survey of projects and works that explore human perception, senses, and the body. The projects are visceral, often disturbing, provoking, and thoughtfully curated.
