Isn't a 'real' illusion one that causes you to see something that isn't objectively there? For example, The Grid illusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion).
If you find an alternative way to create an identical image, then it's forgery, not an illusion.
Put another way, the Grid Illusion is to "worng sleplnig" what the Hollow Mask is to "conversation" (a word in both the English and French languages)
- davidmathers 16y agoDid you watch the video?
- Trindaz 16y agoYes. Continuing the word based analogy, the video is just permutations of "conversation" leading up to it's correct spelling, then more permutations. If you take the frame that show's the inside of the mask alone, is there a way to prove the image is of a concave object? To see it as convex is arguably 'wrong' but it's a moot point because you're looking at something that is objectively identical to a convex object anyway. Couldn't I just extend your argument to say the fact that you see a face at the very start of the movie is an illusion? After all it's a mask, not an actual face.
