Each year, a nonprofit Neutral Correlate Society picks one best illusion from the applications that come to their contest. This year, the winner is Frank Force and his illusion is Dual Axis, a loop animation that changes the moving direction from clockwise to counterclockwise, to up or down, all depending on how you’re looking at it.

You can check out his amazing illusion below.

Force is a game developer who lives in Austin. “I’ve worked on DOOM, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Psi-Ops, and Starhawk,” he shared with Motherboard. “A little over a year ago I decided to quit my job to focus more on the creative side of things and learn some new skills.”

Programming his illusion took a day while figuring out how to present it in the best way was the tricky part. He posted the code to GitHub for everyone who may be interested.

The collage, titled “The Secret of the Great Pyramid,” gives us a glimpse at what may lie beneath the legendary glass structure. This project is a follow-up to the artist’s work in 2016, in which he made the museum disappear against the backdrop of the Louvre Palace.

JR’s new illusion features an excavation site with the tip of the pyramid at its center and a larger structure extending down into a rocky quarry. According to JR, the latest art installation was designed to last a single weekend.

“The images, like life, are ephemeral,” JR wrote on his website. “Once pasted, the art piece lives on its own. The sun dries the light glue and with every step, people tear pieces of the fragile paper. The process is all about participation of volunteers, visitors, and souvenir catchers. This project is also about presence and absence, about reality and memories, about impermanence.”
