Synopsis

"Neural networks do not understand what optical illusions are." - Technologyreview.com

"Some pictures tell a thousand lies." - hplyrikz.com

An optical illusion confuses the eye by pretending to be something it isn't. It both misleads and deceives the brain, which is trying to make sense of the information the eye is sending. This book presents a selection of brain-bending optical illusions featuring graphic art and photography by 60 artists, and includes an overview of the history of optical illusions in art.
