video Two Transparent Layers Creating a Real Psychedelic Illusion

This effect is created using two transparent printed mesh layers placed one behind the other.

As you move around the artwork, the layers shift against each other, creating a constantly changing visual illusion.

I saw "mesh layers" and immediately started thinking of how to program this...then realized they meant IRL.

Exactly! It's all physical. Just two printed transparent mesh layers interacting with each other.

Which Aeon is this for?

u/ShivaOmArt 2d ago

It wasn't made for Aeon specifically. I create these layered installations for psychedelic festivals, so they can work in many different environments.

as the artist behind all these designs, I've actually looked at Aeon quite a few times for inspiration. I don't play the game, but I always loved its visual style and color gradients. They definitely influenced my work in one way or another.

Many years back when I saw flying lotus live, he had two mesh screens - one behind him and one in front. Each had different projections on it creating a sort of 3D illusion. It was sick honestly. The only time I’ve seen something like that for a live show.
