A gorgeous ballroom in East Germany, with a beautiful curtain still hanging from the stage. A breeze is blows in through the open door, the curtains curiously do not move 🤔
April Fools! This is a “Trompe l’oeil”; the illusion of three-dimensional objects created by clever painting.
At the right-hand side, a tear in the artwork betrays it. A white stage door can be seen through the gap.

For last week's #CreativeCoding challenge topic of psychedelic, I took the Bezier shape triangle from my last #OpticalIllusion post and made it into a spiral configuration, with some trippy cascading motion. I sped it up for the video here, but you can control the speed to play it as slow as you want in this sketch (the full resolution and framerate and uncompressed will look a lot better of course):

M.C. Escher remains the undisputed king of visual paradoxes. 🎨
Even when modern tech decodes his illusions, the real magic is how he dreamt up such complex compositions using nothing but a pencil and pure imagination. It is a humbling reminder that while computers are fast, the human mind is the original engine of infinite complexity. 🧠

I got back from Stockholm Monday night, sick, tired and with exploded eardrums but I had a wonderful time none the less visiting Martin, who I met at Folsom Berlin this year. 🖤 Here's some pictures from when we went to the Paradox Museum.
We also went to the ABBA museum. 😅
I also had my first sauna/ice bath. Very relaxing!
But most importantly, we got to be together.

The #neurons that let us see what isn’t there
A standard #opticalillusion triggers specific neurons in the #visual system of mice.
“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National Universitym first author of a new study in Nature Neuroscience that identified a specific population of neurons in #visualcortex—dubbed IC-encoders—and shows a direct role in representing a visual illusion.
