  2. Anamorphosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphosis

    Examples are the sidewalk chalk drawings of Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever, [16] where the chalked image, the pavement, and the architectural surroundings all become part of an illusion. Art of this style can be produced by taking a photograph of an object or setting at a sharp oblique angle, then putting a grid over the photograph.

  3. Optical illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusion

    An example for a physiological fiction is an afterimage. [4] Three typical cognitive distortions are the Ponzo, Poggendorff, and Müller-Lyer illusion. [4] Physical illusions are caused by the physical environment, e.g. by the optical properties of water. [4]

  4. Visual artifact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_artifact

    A crush artifact is an artificial elongation and distortion seen in histopathology and cytopathology studies, presumably because of iatrogenic compression of tissues. Distortion can be caused by the slightest compression of tissue and can provide difficulties in diagnosis. [2] [3] It may cause chromatin to be squeezed out of nuclei. [4]

  5. Phantogram (optical illusion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantogram_(optical_illusion)

    The anamorphic distortion of the source image crucial to the illusion can be understood by likening the images to projections of a 3D object onto a plane (e.g. a sheet of paper) originating from the location of the viewer's eyes. The base of the object meets the plane where the object stands, while the tip of the object is "projected" to a more ...

  6. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Compression, long-lens, or telephoto distortion can be seen in images shot from a distance using a long focus lens or the more common telephoto sub-type (with an angle of view narrower than a normal lens). Distant objects look approximately the same size – closer objects are abnormally small, and more distant objects are abnormally large, and ...

  7. Illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion

    The term illusion refers to a specific form of sensory distortion. Unlike a hallucination, which is a distortion in the absence of a stimulus, an illusion describes a misinterpretation of a true sensation. For example, hearing voices regardless of the environment would be a hallucination, whereas hearing voices in the sound of running water (or ...

  8. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...

  9. BioArt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioArt

    BioArt is an art practice where artists work with biology, live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes.Using scientific processes and practices such as biology and life science practices, microscopy, and biotechnology (including technologies such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, and cloning) the artworks are produced in laboratories, galleries, or artists' studios.
