Amazing 3D optical illusion street art by Kurt Wenner

February 2011: Spiderman Saves the Day at Universal Studios, Japan. This stereoscopic image of the famous Marvel comic character used Colorcode glasses to view the 3D effect.

A new book collects the 3D street art of Kurt Wenner, a former NASA employee, who uses his mathematical skill to create three-dimensional illusions on pavements across the world. When viewed from the correct angle, people standing on top of them look like they are floating in thin air, and solid concrete can look like gaping chasms. Kurt has been perfecting his technique since 1982. Now, using the skills he has perfected over 30 years, he is able to create stereoscopic images, such as the one above enabling people to walk along imaginary webs slung by Spiderman.



Crash Site in San Diego, California, August 2009. A mysterious crash site is found in the pavement outside the convention area. The security guards are models hired by Disney Studios, and the man intervening is a Disney vice president.

For 25 years the artist has been using complex calculations from his old job - creating conceptual drawings of extraterrestrial landscapes at NASA - to bring floors and walls to life. Because of the emergence of computer-generated images, he was one of the very last artists to be trained how to mechanically replicate perspectives using pencil and paper and complex equations. But in 1982 he turned his back on space projects and, after selling all his belongings, moved from the USA to Italy where he applied his knowledge to art.



Northwest Fantasy, created in April 2010 in San Francisco, California. The British Columbia Tourist Board mounted an event with a zip line that travelled over a faux canyon created by Kurt Wenner.

He says: "The pieces look real because they are calculated to be perfectly and mathematically accurate. It's exactly how they would look if the objects in my paintings were actually there. I use a piece of string to measure fixed points between the viewing location and the painting. This lets me calculate exactly how the perspective should be. It takes me around five to seven days to complete an average sized piece."



This was the first interactive 3D street painting, combining real people with their painted reflections. It was created during a street painting festival for a Swiss-German documentary in 1987 at Grazie Di Curtatone, Italy.
