Another trippy illusion

This is another of those amazingly trippy anomalous illusions that just send your head spinning.

Pop-up car

I’ve posted a few examples of street art at Conflusions but not many where the image appears to pop up rather than drop down into a hole. This fine piece of art by Manfred Stader and Edgar Müller does just that.

The Time Fountain

Using LED strobe lighting the drops in this fountain can be slowed down or stopped. You can even interact with them in real time.

Magic Moving Images Book

This is a video of an amazing book containing multi-frame animations. That’s right, a printed book with animations. By the way, the video has no sound so don’t adjust your volume.

Repulse

Here’s another amazing anomalous movement illusion from Herman J. Verwaal that will make your brain spin!

Klein’s Quartic Curve

Here’s a movie made by Greg Egan. It shows Klein’s quartic curve turning itself inside out. “What the heck is that?” you may ask Well, we have no idea. It’s kinda (very) complicated but it looks good!

Blinking doughnuts

You’re looking at two doughnut-shaped figures whose “holes” are gradually changing colour from black to white and back again. It appears that the holes are changing in an opposite pattern – when one is light, the other is dark, and so on. But if you click to remove the surrounding doughnuts, you’ll see that the two holes are actually changing together.

Jean de Dinteville

This picture was created by the Hungarian artist István Orosz. If, instead of looking directly at the screen, you move your head around towards the left hand side of your computer screen so that you are looking across it, you should see the head and shoulders of a man – his name is Jean de Dinteville, who was a French nobleman.
