fadetoblack21 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1123493397/the-stairwell-project-building-a-modern-myth You beat me too it. Seems this is a thought out and planned myth. They faked it. Still a cool video though! Quote
scrutch Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Yup. An illusion based on another illusion, the Penrose triangle. You can also google Mc Escher and look at his stuff. Really makes you think. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted May 8, 2013 Super User Posted May 8, 2013 Yup. An illusion based on another illusion, the Penrose triangle. You can also google Mc Escher and look at his stuff. Really makes you think. I've got a piece titled "Bond of Union", by Escher, tattooed on my chest. I will spare you the pleasure of looking at my man boobs, but here is the piece. I got it maybe 20 years ago and was given the nickname "Bubbles" by a woman I worked with because if I wear a button down shirt, the bubbles stick out the top of my shirt. I'm pretty sure none of you needed to know that. Escher is quite the artist, and although much of his early stuff is dated, his later stuff could have been drawn yesterday. Quote
Trailer Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 The Escherian stairwell always reminds me of one of my favorite movies, ***. Cool stuff. Quote
