Still tired, no sleep, disregard the title, has nothing to do with reality… Ever been awake two days in row? Don’t know how others react, but when I don’t get much sleep (I need about 12 hours of beatuy sleep per day to feel fresh) I feel like in a dream, hallucinating, changing mood from ultra-hyperactive to dead tired… Probably, you’re not here to listen to me (I never liked “blogs” where people share their problems and bore others to death with their online-bridget-jones-diaries-confessions), so here’s a challenge for you: I have no idea what text to write about this optical illusion below, so help me, put it in the comments, think-up your own story board and background for this flick, and maybe I’ll put it in this post next time I edit it. Am off! …to bed.

this is from the museum of modern art in nyc…
It’s by conceptual/Earthworks artist and theorist Robert Smithson: Mirrors with Coral, from 1969.
confused
Mirrors
my head hurts
noodles
and once again: this is an illusion how??? lol
that løøkz weird……
mirror cube, whats wrong with its title. so bored
its obviously a quarter of carpet reflected i a box of mirrors……. i think
no offense but anyone could do that with a mirror and some petals… or a couple mirrors…
im confused…..HELP!!!!
all it is, is 3 mirrors one on the floor and 2 on the walls in a corner the thing that tricks your eye is the carpet thingy in the middle
OWWWWWWWWWWW MY HEAD HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made something just like this (a little smaller maybe) for my “floating rocks” display. Really simple but effective! But of course you have to be standing in the right spot. For those who can’t see it… take this picture and open it in MS Paint or Photoshop or some kind of graphic editor. Using the extreme outside edges of the mirrors, fill in each one (3 large ones) with a different color all the way to the “pie” section in the middle. Try to remember that there are only 3 mirrors and each one is a perfect square: perspectively. You’ll see it then. :) Or do it yourself… run to walmart and pick up 3 square mirrors, build yourself a “corner” and put something in the middle.
Or maybe, the whole block is just a single creation made of glass and mirrors…hmm…
an infinity cube (actually just 4 times bigger)
Hey Vurdlak, are you a girl?????
No clue have to be there to think about that!!!!
It’s as if there are three other rooms besides the one we are standing in, a hole in the center, and a floating island of coral above the hole.
you can see the camera people
this is really easy! all it really is is a mirror on the floor and on the walls to make an illusion that it is actually a table with a mat on top.
3 mirrors placed in the corners of the wall with the quarter of a carpet placed in between them.
this is carpet and three mirrors try it and you might like it.I have and it made my mom go phsyco
Are you aware of hypercubes? If you think that’s mind blowing, try figuring out how a penteract, or, for a really good trip, a 10-cube works. Look it up.
i…wh…uh….GAAAAAH
i think its a bit of carpet in the corner then with mirrors all around it
There are 3 square mirrors about 2 feet per side linning the floor and 2 adjacent walls. the piece of rug is “slice” 1/4th of the entire circular rug.
I figured out that it was 3 mirrors in a corner. But what makes the small darker cube? Is that the room’s ceiling? What I find so weird about this is how you see the top half of the people under their feet and legs. Also the strange odd shape that the floor and mirror reflections make. I count a total of five cube shapes. A real mind bender!
mirrors… what’s in the middle? emmh…
AAARGH!
its a basic card bored circle with carpet on it surrounded by mirrors
“I feel like in a dream, hallucinating, changing mood from ultra-hyperactive to dead tired… ”
I feel like I’M in a dream? Changing mood(S) from ultra hyperactve to dead tired..
You’re a writer and can’t write? What is that, cave man speak? I feel like in a dream.. i change mood from hyper tired hyper. I no not how make tired. You sound like an idiot.
Then MAIL required? What do you want, my POSTAL address? Do you mean my Email? You guys are idiots.
It’s a quarter of a carpet placed in the corner of the mirrors and one mirrors would reflect what the other mirrors reflect
u get me
3 mirrors, 1 one the floor and 2 on the walls
