It’s No Pink Umbrella, But Is It Art?

Effluvia

Swiss Artist Felice Varini created an optical illusion the size of a village. It’s a series of rings that are only visible from a distance. Up close, it’s a series of seemingly random lines drawn on houses.

The most amazing part of the whole thing is how it was done. Using massive projectors, the image was literally overlayed onto the houses and traced! At the link above there are a couple of amazing pictures of the image being projected onto the village.

    As soon as I saw the image, I figured that that’s how it was done. Any other approach would have required a lot of skullwork.

    I love Varini. My favorite of his is the first piece pictured here:
