Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Weird and wonderful on the BBC News website today: what it describes as a 3-D house (but is really a splendid trompe l'oeil illusion, all done by mirrors).

geared Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You have to wonder. It's cool and all that, but as art I'd have to file it under 'Youtube' As in it'll make a few internet videos and stuff and well thats kinda it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It was commissioned by the Barbican, so perhaps it was the Arts Council? I'm happy that my hard earned taxes are being used to pay for this. It would be nice if all these installations weren't in London though, so everyone from all over the county has a chance to enjoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Something abit more permanent would be nice tho, that looks like it can only stay up for a week. One stiff wind will start causing it problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
