As we explore ideas for our intervention projects, I recall the Trick Eye Museum that I visited when I was in Hong Kong. The museum features paintings on plain surfaces that magically appear to be three-dimensional through the use of optical illusion. It provides a unique way for people to interact with the paintings. People try to take photos from different angles to find the optimal position where they appear to be part of the painting. The museum has around 50 optical illusion paintings and installations over five different themed zones: World of Masterpieces, Hong Kong Discovery, Secret Garden, Great Adventure and Neverland.
