I think I remember that the trippy part about this piece was that it looked like it was 3d but it was actually 2D. It could be the other way around though. I also saw this there:
Okay now i remember this piece. From the outside it just looked like a blue frame with no depth. It was like it was just a projector shinning blue on a wall, but then something happened that scared the fuck out of me! A person walked out of it. Then i realized that it was actually a room. with a downward slope from the front entrance that is elevated up a few steps. This allows people who are at the lowest part of the room not to be seen by outside observers. The room itself is all white and has a radient blue light dominating the whole space.
Soon i forgot about this trick and ended up seeing another one of his exhibits at the Mattress Factory (an old factory turned into a modern art gallery) in Pittsburgh. I got tricked again by this:
Now this was the same idea as the room I talked about before. So you can get the idea of how flat it looks from the outside. From a distance it looks like a painting, but as you get closer and closer you realize there is a hole in the wall. I didn't realize this until i was literally inches away and freaked out when i stuck my hand though it and was not met with a wall.
Any way, Back to today. I just found out on design boom that he has just finished his new piece for his on going "light observatory" IN A FUCKING VOLCANO CRATER
THATS RIGHT A FUCKING CRATER. THIS IS SOME DR. EVIL SHIT RIGHT HERE
anyway here are some pictures from his latest project there:
And here is his older piece that actually is built underground and makes it look from the inside that the sky is really close:
VERDICT? APPROVED!!!!!!!
