  • You'll Have to Look Twice As New
    Media Contact Mary Meluso, 201.253.1335 [email protected] YOU’LL HAVE TO LOOK TWICE AS NEW MIND-BENDING ILLUSION EXHIBIT AT LIBERTY SCIENCE CENTER OPENS FEBRUARY 4 “ILLUSION: NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS” MAKES NORTHEAST DEBUT IN JERSEY CITY Jersey City, New Jersey (January 30, 2017) – Is anything really as it seems? Don’t believe everything you see and hear in the world of ILLUSION – the new mind-bending exhibition opening at Liberty Science Center on February 4. Making its Northeast debut, ILLUSION: Nothing Is As It Seems provides perception-shattering insight into the human mind while playfully combining the techniques used by magicians and explored by psychologists. ILLUSION investigates how perception defines the way we see, feel, think and understand the world. Visitors will question their reality and their perceptions of the world as their senses become distorted and logical thinking mystified. “We’re excited to welcome the new Illusion exhibit to Liberty Science Center,” said Paul Hoffman, President and CEO of Liberty Science Center. “Magic and science are intertwined, and LSC is the first museum with a Magician-in-Residence, David Blaine. The Illusion exhibit proves how easily the human mind can be fooled by combining magic with psychology, optical illusions with scientific reasoning, and confusion with clarity.” Visitors will experience a variety of installations in the exhibition, created by Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, that will deceive their eyes and show that what they perceive is often radically different from the reality of what their eyes observe. The Invisible Eye will allow you to see an eyeball construct itself from thin air, and you can gaze into a mirror and morph into your inner animal at All the Universe is Full of the Lives of Perfect Creatures.
