Each of these:
can be made into a word by applying some transformation. The trick to this is that all of the information is used twice - the lines drawn are only half of what we actually need.
Left column, top:
Left column, middle:
Appending a color-flipped version of the same picture gives FOSSIL.
Left column, bottom:
Overlay a copy shifted to the right, and you can read the word PETROL.
Right column, top:
Right column, middle:
Reading the cubes from the front gives BEY; reading the cubes from the right side gives OND.
Right column, bottom:
Now what?
Each of the words had one eye on it in the original image - when the transformation was applied, that eye marked two different letters.
So that gives us a total of twelve letters - but how do we order them?
The boxes next to the words, when overlaid, make a shape that looks like a 6:
And one of the shapes looks like a 1...
This gives the final "redundant" art: There's an order that you can overlay the six shapes, so they look like the numbers 1-6.
Picking one of the two eye-marked letters from each word, in this order, gives DOUBLE - and the other eye-marked letters give VISION! So DOUBLE VISION is the final answer, and certainly something you might get after solving this.
