  2. Anamorphosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphosis

    Anamorphic street art by Manfred Stader. While not as widespread in contemporary art, anamorphosis as a technique has been used by contemporary artists in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, film and video, digital art and games, holography, [1] street art and installation. The latter two art forms are largely practised in public ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Perspective distortion refers to the manipulation of visual perception through deliberate techniques that create altered or exaggerated views of objects or scenes. This concept has not only shaped art and architecture but has also played a critical role in challenging and expanding the limits of human perception.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Texture gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_gradient

    There are three main forms of texture gradient: density, perspective, and distortion of texture elements. Texture gradient is carefully used in the painting Paris Street, Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte. [1] Texture gradient was used in a study of child psychology in 1976 [2] and studied by Sidney Weinstein in 1957. [3]

  7. 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 ...

  8. Distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion

    Distortion occurs when the transfer function F is more complicated than this. If F is a linear function, for instance a filter whose gain and/or delay varies with frequency, the signal suffers linear distortion. Linear distortion does not introduce new frequency components to a signal but does alter the balance of existing ones.

  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.
