U2 Concert

The local classic rock radio station in Charlotte, WRFX, had a contest for tickets to the sold out U2 concert. The 10th caller after they start a 2nd consecutive U2 song (a “U2 2-fer”) wins. I had my coat on and was about to turn off my office radio when I heard the first U2 song, so I decided to wait a few more minutes and call in. Lucky I did because I was caller #10.

Patty heard me on the radio and said that I didn’t sound excited enough, but U2 is one of only two concerts I would ever want to go to! (The other concert I would want to go to is Billy Joel.)

Imagine if the fictionally warped world of M.C. Escher was taken off the flat easel that makes his illusions possible, and thrust into the real 3D world? Now throw in some busy city sidewalks and a bucket of street chalk and you’ve got the work of a European artist named Julian Beever. Beever creates chalk drawings on flat city sidewalks that amazingly appear three-dimensional when viewed from just the right angle. From any other angle the drawings look totally distorted. Above you see an amazing illusion of Beever acting as if he’s ready to dive into the drawing, which is really a totally flat section of sidewalk! On the right is another of his drawings where he is being rescued by Batman and Robin from a subterranean Gotham City. Below are two links with photos to many more of Beever’s 3D illusions. Enjoy
