Trick of the eye art/imagery....

[Ammi]

..I find any kind of trick of the eye imagery/optical illusions extremely clever and fascinating...

..if you have any particularly good examples, please post them here...

..I also love 'vanishing point' images, which aren't exactly trick of the eye, but probably not enough for their own thread..so post some of those as well, if you will....

Renowned Brazilian artist Regina Silveira creates incredible illusions that play with our senses and messes with our minds. She invites the viewer see huge shadows or watch as toy cars make their messy track marks on a gallery’s white walls. In Lodz, Polland, she created an installation called “Depth” where she incorporated the gallery’s architecture, particularly its windows, to show a never-ending abyss one could actually walk on

:laugh2: Oh Ammi..

Look directly at the small dot in the middle and move your head back and forwards towards the screen whilst looking at the dot.. The shapes around the outside turn in a circle

Are the purple lines straight or bent?

Do you see gray areas in between the squares?

The picture is not animated! Your eyes are making it move.

To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the black center of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it. Weird ?

:shocked: I can't work out where all the black dots are.

[Marsh.]

They're easy to see where they are. :laugh: You just can't see them all at once.
