Concave Mask Illusion

September 29th, 2009 Brian No comments

Usually I wouldn’t post an optical illusion because, why bother, they’re all over the internet. But this one…this one I like.

Here’s what I like about it — the sense of the uncanny. Something that is turning one way seems to without changing direction turn the other way. What seems to be a concave shape is suddenly convex and pointing out at us. This is the sort of non-Euclidian geometry that Lovecraft wrote about. If only we didn’t know it was an illusion.
