The classic Albers color interaction exercise above is included in one of the recent NPR stories<\/a>. The X’s are the same color but appear to be different. This is just one of many ways to create optical effects that fool the eye. Some illusions involve color, some play with lines and forms, and all confuse the brain. I just spent four days exploring these phenomena with a few hardy polymer artist\/guinea pigs in North Carolina. Crazy but fun!<\/p>\n
