Dr Angry and Mr Calm




As you step back from the computer, you will notice the angry and calm faces switching places. If you once again step closer you will see them return to the original positions.

For an explanation of how this optical illusion works, visit the Grand Illusions site.

This is based on work by Dr Aude Oliva (MIT) and Dr Philippe Schyns (University of Glasgow). You can read the original paper here.

The artist behind this fish face painting photo is apparently unknown. I found it, along with others in the series, on haha.nu.
