O4-36: PERSPECTIVE BOX - CHAIR

PURPOSE: Perspective illusion.

DESCRIPTION: Opening the box and viewing the system from above, it appears to be only a random collection of sticks. When viewed through the peephole at the end, the sticks appear to form a chair.

This illusion and many more like it were made by twentieth century Dutch artists who didn't have enough to do, forming an entire branch of modern art: the "perspective cabinet."

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES: (PIRA unknown.)

EQUIPMENT: Perspective box.

SETUP TIME: None.
