When slightly tilted line segments are aligned horizontally like the figure above , the whole array appears to tilt toward the tilt of the line elements.
This is a reversal efect of the Zollner illusion or acute-angle contraction.

Someone sent me this image to the optical illusions blog. Look at the picture on your left. What do you see? There must be something strange going on here. No way that the arch shown here has the proper top. Or can it? I wouldn’t want to ruin your solving experience before you’re ready to see the answer.

A friend sent me our newest exhibit. We had some egg illusions in the past, but have to admit this is different. In its core, this optical illusion is very similar to the famous Missing Part test. Additionally, it may remind you of those missing China men, extra Leprechauns, Mad Scientist soccer team… you know what I mean. To make you understand what is going on around here, let me explain first. In the first card (A) we have one chicken and 8 eggs. Cut this card in 4 pieces (like outlined below), and then again assemble it in a different matter (card B), resulting with proper rectangular image. You will get our original chicken, but the number of eggs this time is different. Additionally, there is a missing piece in this newly assembled card. Why is that? If the surface of both puzzle cards is equal, how can one be missing a piece? Hint: are the surfaces really equal? You tell me! Remember, there is more than one optical illusion present here.

I’ve been posting Sandro Del Prete’s optical illusion artworks for a long time. Today I bring you one of his awesome impossible paintings, not so many people even heard of. Now little bit of Sandro’s biography.
Sandro Del-Prete was born in 1937, and is a Swiss artist who paints figures, situations and processes that cannot exist in the real world. Comparisons can be drawn between Del-Prete and Escher’s artwork, although they differ in subject matter, style, mood and technique. Del-Prete greatly admires Escher and believes that they are ‘kindred spirits’, however the viewer will find very little mathematical precision in Del-Prete’s work, something that is always present in Escher’s work.

Enjoy this photo of a Polar Bear lying in a tree. Is a very nice optical illusion! It´s hard to believe how this snow formation resembles to such a realistic Polar Bear.

Perwanal Saatchi & Saatchi in Jakarta, Indonesia, has taken interactivity and creepy-crawliness to a new, flat level with the creation of this massive “floor sticker” in an Jakarta shopping center .
The ad, for Jakarta’s pet emporium JAKPETZ, promotes Frontline Flea & Tick Spray with the slogan “Get them off your dog.”
Viewed from the upper levels, the people walking on the ad look disgustingly flea-like, and the scene elicits constant reactions that sound something like “yikes!” The team behind this effective promo included Chief Creative Officer Andy Greenaway, Executive Creative Director Juhi Kalia and Art Directors Aryanto Salim and Joel Clement. – Tuija Seipell
