This might help, but I'm confident this is not the primary cause, here. The effect I can see is not that of the buildings receding, but of the colored blocks floating off the surface of my monitor. They even seem to exhibit a small amount of parallax if I move my head.
- manifoldgeo 5y agoHonestly, that sounds like it's still the Gestalt principles at work. Did you read the link I posted about luminance? The person who made that art seems to have a keen eye for color design. The colors are chosen in such a way that the signs "pop", making them look like they're well away from the wall despite being a grid of colors on a 2d plane. That red especially looks bright relative to the rest of the image. There's no way they could be hiding anything special in a static image to give it a parallax. Your brain is doing all the hard work for the artist.
