Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind
responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar
pattern where none exists. Common examples are perceived images of animals,
faces, or objects in cloud formations, the Man in the Moon, the Moon rabbit,
hidden messages in recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or
lower-than-normal speeds, and hearing indistinct voices in random noise such as humming machinery or electric fans.
Hence Surrealism I suppose, for the visual effects at any rate.
