Tricky Stick: This space plays tricks with our perception of space. The rod moving on a rotary table has a curved hole in its orbit. The human brain automatically perceives that the rod cannot pass through the hole, but thanks to the meticulously thought out geometric structure, the rod passes through the hole every time.

Turntables: The black & white patterns that cause kinetic optical illusions every time to create endless rings. We witness a hypnosis-like effect with an astonishing optical illusion that can only occur in motion.
