From now on you can access Mighty Optical Illusions by typing www.moillusions.com, or simply type moillusions.com in your web browser. However, the [...]

Here and then, I post a piece of art that isn’t directly connected to optical illusions. Still, theres a reason for me to post them, usually while it’s something fresh, or simply because of the interesting approach from the author. Another title for this illusion could be “Modern ASCII Art“. Matthew Egbers emailed me this [...]

Rik Andreae pointed me to Leandro Erlich’s “Swimming Pool” installation which can be found at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art (in Kanazawa, Japan). I believe you remember previous Japanese girls with small heads illusion. Also we had a performer that done pretty similar installation. His name is Philippe Ramette. I think that the [...]

Martin König made these pics in Rome on Pizza Navona. It’s the new set of photos picturing Swift Walker we talked about earlier. It’s something like Mark Jenkins installation, only here we have real life person! If you like these kind of performances, be sure to read about Flying Yogi and Painted Fishes.

David Kossin says: “Don’t worry, this is another one of my original photos – not a stolen one from your site! :) This is a man in Italy who designed a suit that gives the illusion of him walking very swiftly down a windy road. He is actually standing perfectly still. Quite interesting! I hope [...]

I have a rule to avoid placing photoshoped real-life illusions on this site. So many times I hear in my comments: “This illusion is Photoshoped“. I can assure you, that those of you who claim so, are 99% of the time – wrong. Rarely when I post photoshoped illusion, I state it clearly in the [...]

Michael Ciuffo is the author of this SF optical illusion. What is neat about it, is that many of you that have laser pointer pen and advanced digital camera, can make one of your own! I let Michael describe his submission himself: “For this shot, I took my camera into a room with no windows [...]

User called Ludo submitted this photo illusions. They were all done by Philippe Ramette, and you can see full collection if you jump inside this article. At first they seemed photshoped, but after few minutes I understood how he made them. Can you guess? Here’s what Ludo wrote: “Hi! Here’s the art gallery of Philippe [...]

This art installation is named Fata Morgana, and was set up by Ralph Helmick and Stuart Schechter in 2001 at Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This sculpture is a romantic pictorial exercise pushing a traditional painterly subject–the seascape–into three dimensions. As you can see, the central image is a cruise ship and its reflection.
