Illusion + Perception

  • Alex O'Dell

For my major project, I produced a piece based on our perception. Through print and paper mechanics I explored the manipulation of our perception. Initially, I had planned to produce a series of printed pieces based on each area of perception so that the user could physically explore the illusions creating a personal individual experience. Due to COVID-19 I was unable to complete the printing for this so as a response I chose to produce an interactive PDF, mocking up what I could, so that the user could still work their way through the piece and not lose what I had intended for the project. The user clicks through a box of illusions each animated to show the mechanics of the planned printed piece.
