This is neat. An artist, Rufus B. Seder, creates something he has named Lifetiles. He uses them to create murals in which images appear to move, or change into another image entirely.
A huge mural greets visitors to the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston. It’s a memorial to the building’s namesake, who died unexpectedly in 1993.
A young Reggie Lewis, wearing his No. 35 Boston Celtics jersey, dominates the middle of the 11-foot-by-14-foot artwork. At the bottom left is a picture of him and his wife. To his right, the face of legendary Celtic Larry Bird.
But as young men in sweats and sneakers make their way into the gym, something strange happens. The mural comes alive. The photo of a beaming Lewis in formal attire transforms into Lewis the basketball player, streaking down the court.
Larry Bird’s picture morphs into that of another famous player, Robert Parrish.
With each step, the mural transforms, representing the many scenes in one man’s life.
You simply have to click over and watch the CNN video of these murals. You can see more videos at the Eye Think website.
While lenticular images have been around for a while, I can’t recall ever seeing anything as ambitious as what Seder is doing.
