In my understanding the people partaking in this debate are talking a bit past each other

@endsormeans was absolutely correct in the part where he talked about artists perception of an object.
"Vision" has nothing to do with eyes and is fully a creative process that happens in the consciousness of the artist, it is a mental process and not optical. It is only coincidental that visual arts have anything to do with light except as a carrier of sensation; eyes are just the widest sensory bandwidth we have so often useful.

On the other hand I agree with @pichlo and @wikiwide that the bit about vibrations was not very accurate, but that was not the point of the posting, was it?
