3D Illusion To Slow Down Traffic

Preventable, BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation, and the District of West Vancouver have launched a 3D illusion geared to make drivers slow down at high-risk intersections.

An optical illusion of a little girl chasing a ball has been installed.
The 3D illusion rises up gradually from about 100 feet away and fades away by the time a driver approaches.

Warning signs leading up to the illusion were installed to prepare drivers.
The goal is to draw attention to the risk of children running onto the road.

Largest Disco Ball In History: Paris' Nuit Blanche

French artist Michel de Broin built a massive disco ball that measures 23.6-feet in diameter and contains a whopping 1,000 individual mirrors. Then he attached the sphere to a crane 165-feet in the air and suspended it in the Jardin du Luxembourg during the Nuit Blanche event in Paris. After directing spotlights at it from various locations around the city, de Broin hit a switch and let the party commence.
