Field notes
The page connects its name to apophenia and distinguishes that broader pattern-finding tendency from pareidolia, the visual experience of seeing faces or shapes in random things. Its stated workflow asks contributors to add a line trace to each photo, making the perceived face easier for others to locate. The homepage also describes voting, comments, favourites, and a gallery divided into subjects such as food, tiles, and clouds.
