Gravity

The book Launching the Imagination discusses gravity in the section about three dimensional design. The book discusses how gravity is one of the first noticeable features when making a three dimensional piece. In the book there are examples of how artists used the force of gravity in a creative way that made their pieces seem as if they were defying gravity. One thinks to themselves "how do they do that?" when seeing a piece that seems to defy gravity. I went online to search for more of these gravity defying works of art, and found some interesting ones that I like.

Video

In the video below, a team has set up a visualization that fools people into believing something extraordinary or out of this world is happening. In another part of the video people in an elevator watch as the floor below them starts to fall. It's a pretty cool video. And funny.
