When the picture plays with our mind
We love it when the picture plays with our mind
To achieve different angle, illusion or an unusual effect with only two-dimensional picture is a challenge many photographers and artists can't seem to pass by. The three-dimensional sculptures can increase the "I simply can not believe this is real" effect. But in every occasion we keep asking ourselves how the trick was pulled off, and such mind-games appear to be a part of the magic.

Illusions in Art
One certain way to prompt the viewer to look twice in the picture is to create a "topsy-turvy" images, meaningful in both orientations.

Impossible geometry
These artists can not revise the foundations of perspective and geometry, but they certainly fool the eye of a viewer:

Illusions in Advertising:
Not an optical illusion, but a good test of your "attention to detail":
How many "F"s are in this sentence?
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS
Scroll down for answer... in the meantime, see if you can spot anything wrong with this image:

ANSWER:
There are six F's in the sentence. There is no catch. Many people forget the F in "OF", and that word appears three times in the sentence. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's! If you spotted four, five, or even all six, well you beat the average!
Life imitates illusion
Do you remember M. C. Escher's "impossible staircases"?
