			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/category/art-installation">art installation</a> you&#8217;re about to see was designed by Peter Bristol, a lead product designer at Seattle-based product development consultancy <em>Carbon Design Group</em>. As author described it in his own words, &#8220;<a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2010/02/perspective-chair-optical-illusion.html">The Cut Chair</a>&#8221; provides a stable place to sit, but creates an <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2006/11/crooked-chair.html">optical illusion that tells you otherwise</a>. It usually takes few moments before people conclude how this trick works, yet the solution is pretty straight-forward. A plate concealed by a thick carpet allows a robust cantilevered seat. Three <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2011/04/levitating-street-performer.html">well placed leg &#8220;stumps&#8221;</a> and the chair looks as though it has just been magically sliced apart. Peter is currently looking for a partner that would like to have the Cut Chair made for installation or production.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2010/02/video-ames-window-optical-illusion.html">The majority has decided</a> in favor of our newly self-hosted video player. The only flaw I noticed, is how the player is last thing to load when you open our website. This may confuse some newcomers, but I think we can live with it. Now something about our <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2009/09/the-chicago-bulls-logo-conspiracy.html">LOGO</a>: as you know, <em>Moillusions.com</em> stands for <em>Mighty Optical Illusions</em>, our official title. I&#8217;ve been contemplating about possibility to change <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2006/05/fedex-logo-optical-illusion.html">our beloved logo</a>, but somehow nothing revolutionary came to my mind. This is why I invite ALL OF YOU to submit your ideas, and help us form a whole new logo, to serve us in years to come. Think you&#8217;re up to the challenge?  Let&#8217;s see some of your ideas!</p>
<p>About the illusion, well it was submitted by Christian Hendrich, who took some photos of the 1997 exhibition called <em>Documenta X</em>, and decided to share them with us. <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/category/art-installation">The installment</a> was set in Museum of Modern Art in Germany, and the original author behind it is Matthew Ngui. When you <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2006/11/crooked-chair.html">see the chair</a> from room&#8217;s entrance, it seems at first there is nothing wrong with it. A desire may come to you, to sit and relax for a minute. But when you approach it, or <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2008/09/more-of-felice-varinis-3d-rooms.html">move around the room</a>, true nature of the chair reveals itself. I recall we had <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2009/06/113-art-installation.html">something very similar</a> before. <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2008/03/marvel-comics-superhero-mural-optical.html">Marvell Superhero</a> is one of the examples, but I think that Gillian Brown&#8217;s <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2008/03/gillian-browns-constructed-photographs.html"><em>Constructed Photographs</em></a> still deserve the golden medal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.moillusions.com/category/relative-sizes-optical-illusions">Relative Sizes category</a> consists of hundred interesting optical illusions, but the problem occurs when you <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2009/07/relative-coffee-cups.html">start understanding them</a>. When you see one, it is if you have seen all. All of them start to <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2007/07/lord-of-rings-look-likes-illusion.html">look the same</a>. This is probably why none of them were posted lately. Well, this time Alan Mountain ensured we get ourselves some fresh, and even <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2008/11/another-coffee-bean-man-illusion.html">more complex material</a>! In the photo below you can see Jochen and Marita Wiesner interact with <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/category/art-installation">an installation</a> at an exhibition called <em>Tour of Senses</em> in Dresden, Germany. As you see, the exhibition deals with <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/category/optical-illusion-tests">senses</a> and plays with our perceptions. If you don&#8217;t have a clue how this optical illusion was produced, you should check <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2007/04/perth-impossible-triangle-optical.html">this hint</a>. If you are still having trouble, you are allowed to see <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2009/09/gullivers-travels-optical-illusion.html/illusion-2_1476915i">the solution</a>.</p>
