I agree, what's the point of this? Is it supposed to be a magic trick or a camera trick? The "making of" video seems to imply that a whole bunch of lighting, camera, and technology equipment went into this.

Oh, sorry, JimRl. I didn't know it was "art". In that case, it can be as pointless as it wants to.

I thought the point of it was to mess with people's perception, and give the viewers some mental stimulation (of the 'wtf' variety). Its a neat little demonstration of that universal concept - all perception is flawed, no matter how confidently you believe what you experienced.
