＃1 MAISD Project - False Appearance

Having an interest in visual senses, I began my key words of references as position, illusion, visual trap, dissimulation, and sensory behavior.

Those key words are all related to the main idea of False Appearance, the topic the this project.  

a. position

The Endless Stairs (American Hardwood Export Council)

This reference displays an installation project, The Endless Stairs, which provides a variety of perspectives while walking on the stairs, changing the positions.

b. illusion

Tauba Auerbach's studio floor

New Nature System 7 (Russell Leng)

Colors with different tones and shadings express different feelings. When it connects to layers, they cause an illusion.(the reference shows that because of the dark color, it makes a wrong impression....)

The same effect shows in non-color drawings. In the case of grayscale, the illusion could be made by the arrangement of contract and it would be very different.

c. visual trap

20:50 (Richard Wilson)

The reflection plays a trick on visual senses and makes you wondering what is real, what is fake. 

d. dissimulation

James Turrell

This project shows an incomprehensible phenomenon in its dimensions which means it’s difficult to tell where is the exact borders of the space.

e. sensory behavior

Chapter 5, Passion and Delirium

“We can only see the surface of things through eyes. So it is important to use other sensations which can help us to understand the truth under the surface. If not, we can only believe what we have seen, but in fact it is just the fake which is regarded as truth.”

Those five references above inspired me an idea of further going of this project. It might takes some experiments searching for the accurater outcomes and I am looking forward to see what will it become.
