Specialized Research thesis:
The concepts of reality and illusion are seemingly opposed, used by perspective to correct or distort perceptions. The urban scenery is full of elements that cause optical illusions. Examples of this procedure that creates illusion are: various artworks placed in internal or external space creating an illusion of movement and depth, techniques such as video and projection mapping that add dimensions and movement on static elements, interactive systems and installations, technologies such as augmented reality that enriches our world placing between our eyes and the environment a variety of digital information. Since all these city elements give the impression of movement and change, arises the question whether the city’s environment tends to create a parallel world opposed to the “real” one, thus misinterpreting our senses.
