Renowned Dutch artist M.C.Escher printed his lithographic artwork ‘Waterfall’ in the year 1961.This artwork looks very crazy in paper but difficult or say impossible to create its real version because it defies the law of physics.
But recently one YouTube contributor named Mcwolles translated Escher’s Waterfall into reality by creating its physical version. Check out this crazy video of mind boggling innovation.



pretty badass.

here is the original pic:

my bad. there is an article:
it was on current: http://current.com/entertainment/wtf/93002854_eschers-impossible-waterfall.htm

which links to the youtube video, which has a link to this website in the description of said video: http://www.intermediales-design.de/

its obviously an optical illusion and only works from that angle, but still pretty neat

Yeah it's pretty cool because you have to respect the amount of work and fine tuning that went into the illusion. It's not easy to build something to show from a certain angle like that. There's also extensive video compositing and editing going on that is almost seamless.

Pretty well done illusion overall and what I like best is he doesn't lie to the camera and pretend to be some kind of wizard.
