Revelations
We live in three dimensional space. We take for granted that something can be in front of or behind something else:that it can be near or a long way from us. Imaginary representations on canvas,on paper or even on a computer screen just have two dimension. I s it possible to see as three-dimensional,images that have two dimension,like a painting or a photo? Yes,if we can "deceive our brain". This is what happens with stereograms. By stereograms we mean two dimensional images which,if looked at in different way,reveal three-dimensional images that were hidden at first sight. It's easier to understand if we put into practice. have a look at "Strawberries forest", for example,on the sub gallery "visual perceptions".
