Step Into an Optical Phantasm



In Demon Hill, the foundations of gravity do not apply as you anticipate them to. Down just isn’t down, precisely. The room, created by Los Angeles artist Julian Hoeber and on show on the Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York, is modelled on a inventory roadside attraction, Hoeber says. It is primarily based on a easy trick: the room is tilted on a compound angle. The result’s disorienting and extremely well-liked — drawing about 20,000 individuals when it appeared in L.A. Michael Landy, professor of neural science and psychology at New York College, explains how the piece creates a battle between our senses.

  1. How our perception change of it it we don't feel it be angled like one would in the room? Was the video edited to make it look like that? Are you basically just turning the camera sideways?

  2. I think if I'm there, I know! I don't think I'd feel the illusion! I know I'm tilted, that's all! But the other video about stairs that u go up but ends at same floor, if truly like that, will amaze me! It's like Twilight Zone!
