College art association would find these amazing! This outdoor 3D painted buildings were done in the same way as "3D Painted Rooms" I posted earlier. Really nice example of fantasy art! No, those lines weren't done in Photoshop. They are actually painted on the buildings themselves! If you don't believe it, that's fine, but first jump inside the post to see evidence I provided after each photo. These illusion pictures were taken in Place de l'Odeon, Paris, or at least one of them is. Looks like someone took a huge marker and drew a couple of lines on the images! Circles, lines, squares look perfectly lined up only if you view them from one particular viewpoint. Preivously: "Body Art", "Lines in The Street"...

    Did they use a projector?

    I'm not sure how THEY did that, but i know how I would do it...
    I would take my equatorial telescope mount and strap a laser pointer on top of the telescope. The point of focus would be the location of the tripod and this would allow me to trace perfect circles from the point of focus....oh, and perfect lines, though that would be a little trickier.

    btw, is that done by vandals? Cause I would imagine it looks pretty messy from all but one point of view.

    I think that's pure vandalism - it may be very clever but it doesn't add to the aesthetics of the architecture at all.

    how did they do that?

  13. Anonymous Random Guy 

    probably by measuring all the angles of the buildings and painting them with other guys watching, or something like that :)

    as cool looking as these are.. i have a hard time believing that anyone would allow some of those buildings, which look like they've been around a few years, be painted. I am a fan of old style architecture and if someone approached me to let them paint something like that on a building like that.. i'd crap a brick.. pardon the pun...

    the way these are made is by the following directions.

    1. find good place for image
    2. decide the color so it fits.
    3. place image on translucent plastic (or make it a .jpeg or .gif for a projector)
    4. shine the image onto the area you want the paint.
    5. paint ONLY on the colored area.
    6. remove projector and check for errors
    7. celebrate your masterpiece.

    I live in the city of the 7th photo (Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and I saw that, it was made for real, I saw that with my own eyes !
    It has been made during a night, with a laser device. The orange colour is not paint, it is only stickers; 1 month later everything had disapear.

    I think it is super bad bacause u can see that the paintings are made by cuputers, and beside the picture are super confusing. I think they should put something more cool and more intresting that u can't figure it out!!

    P.S:The owner of this page
    please change the photos,
    and make the page more
    easier not more harder
    then it is.

    superb use of filters. I love it. It gets 10/10 from me

    Maybe it would be nice to mention the name of the artist when you use his pictures!

    His name is Felice Varini.
    His homepage is http://www.varini.org/

    If anyone is in doubt, have a look at;

    and you'll see that this is real.

    It looks photoshopped to me. I think this because these look like too unlikely locations for such optical illusionary artistic pieces to be held.

  34. Blogger guitarking 

    That's not vandalism, that's the most amazing art I've ever seen!!!!!

    It's amazing. but imagine that you travel there to see the beautiful old building, I think I would be crushed. imagine it happen with Nauschwanstein when u only have one day to visit the place!

    It's hard to believe that someone would have actually painted on an entire block or several historical buildings.

    Nascar Mommy, don't fret, they don't acutally paint them... they use projectors, then "draw" it on using "chalk" that washes off in rain... ever see Mary Poppins (although just a film)... it still washes off.

    I was slightly concerned about this also, but c'mon... I live in a listed building... you NEED a permit to do this sort of stuff, especially to historic buildings. Chalk isn't considered graffiti due to not being permanent, where spray paint is...(ish)

  43. Anonymous The Ultim@te ED 

    Or using stickers as Vlad said... still.. they're non-permanent.
