“Optical illusions have actually been widely known to scientists andartistsfor at least several centuries,” says Valery Bolgan, a historian andeditor-in-chiefof the Intent news agency from Ukraine, whomBored Pandaasked for a comment here. “For example, the great Spanish artist Salvador Dali actively used this phenomenon in his paintings.”
“American ophthalmologist Albert Ames designed it in the middle of the 20th century. It is a room in the form of a trapezoid, which is nevertheless perceived as rectangular. As a result, a person standing in one corner of it seems much smaller than the one standing in the opposite corner. An opticaleffectthat is actively used in many attractions,” Valery notes.
And the effect of optical illusion is also very popular with street artists these days, skillfully disguising an ordinary road or sidewalk as a staircase, parapet or even an entire dungeon.Bored Pandahas written about the works of such masters more thanonceortwice- and every time it causes a real wave of admiration.
