It was called Trick Art. It was held in Busan, South Korea. Basically what it was was pieces of art which were displayed in such a way that a "viewer" could interact with them. If someone took a picture of them it was made to look like they were fussed with the art itself. Perhaps another way of putting it was that it made the art seem 3 dimensional.
The group was about 12 people so we split off into teams. I was on a team with two other ladies. We had a blast trying to create funny pictures of each other interacting with the art.
So I think what I will do is show you a selection of the hundred or so pictures we took on this little adventure. I hope some of them "trick" you :D
"Uhh, excuse me, miss..."
"My lady please, this is not a clothing-optional luncheon"
A cold day in the 1800s
Stick a fork in us cuz we're done for.
I see a competition brewing...
I can't put my finger on it, but there is something abnormal about this painting.
Helping this young lady come into the micro-world.
Something peculiar about this mirror. I suppose there are two possibilities. One: I'm a vampire and didn't know it. Two: The mirror is broken.
What the!?!?!? An idiosyncratic reflection appeared and attacked me.
"Hey man I can do that too."
"Hold on Heather and Kelsey!! Are those two presents in the back yours??"
"Maybe after this amiable little palaver we can work on figuring out how to put you back together Kelsey."
PETA would be angry at us I think.
"SAVE YOURSELF!!"
This was probably a PETA organized assassination.
The epic stage is set...
"Well I'm not a crook."
I think it might see you.
It has a visual on me.
Ah!! What is that?!?!
Some odd experiments going on here.
Where were you on April 15, 1912? I don't know about you but I was standing on a very stable barrel trying to help people from the water as the Titanic was sinking. To bad I couldn't save Jack.
Slippin' 'em the fourth.
"What's for dinner tonight?"
"Dead head."
"Hold on Heather!! It's kind of a long way to the bottom after all..."
Bet you can't do this...
"Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum"
"She's gonna eat me!!"
Seems to be a futile effort.
"Perhaps you should see this view before going downstairs."
Conceivably, they are excited because they are the worlds first time travelers.
"Oh dear, Heather's dead and I'm getting sucked down a whirlpool."
This zoo is unique in that it has a human on display. What interesting facts can we learn about it?
Team Cockroach
Well hopefully you enjoyed with this little journey into mind tricks even though they may have not been very Jedi-ee. All I can say is that it was a fun time and hope that someday America could have something as cool as this.
Leavetaking
Looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was. I would like to go again but I guess the 26th was the last day for it. At least in Busan. I think there are other displays elsewhere in Korea.
