Mind-Bending Installation Art

I found this entry about Felice Varini tonight and had to pass it along.

Varini is a Swiss artist who creates some truly astonishing 3D, large-scale optical illusions  in public spaces.  I wasn’t familiar with his work before, but after looking at a few photos of his installations, I’m definitely a fan. It’s absolutely BONKERS.

I won’t show all the photos here, as the whole  article is definitely worth reading, but check out the last series of designs on the page.

INSANE.

That he manages to fuse such wild creativity with the rigid mental discipline, mathematical expertise, and spacial awareness it must take to pull these things off is nothing short of amazing. So unbelievably cool.
