Got any simple #tricks / #illusions that kids would enjoy seeing? I’m all ears!

@henryseg just posted a YouTube video providing a more in-depth look (matrix math!!!) at the mathematics behind the Ames room.

#AI is, damn it, suitable to create #illusions for us. to make already #beautiful things appear even more beautiful. to make us #drunk from what we finally see.
but isn't it already built on illusions, that those, which we then find so overwhelmingly beautiful, we can no longer tell apart, what is true and what is only imagined, and think, that they are all this in these moments just for ourselves - ... and they don't even know that we exist at all ... ?

"Illusions are beliefs that we adopt because we want them to be true.
The most compelling illusions qualify as delusions.
Delusions are illusions that are both false and highly resistant to rational revision, because of the immense power of the wishes that fuel them."

In the hermitage of illusions
the flowers of dawn
blossom, wither,
they wither and blossom.
All of this is just a dream;
morning lights on the flowers
in the temple of illusions

Nell'eremo delle illusioni
i fiori dell'alba
sbocciano, appassiscono,
appassiscono e sbocciano.
Tutto questo è solo un sogno;
luci del mattino sui fiori

@paulgarrard Reminds me of a class of grid-based #illusions with distortion effects. Here's one by Akiyoshi Kitaoka.
