Back in the 70s there was a style of producing pop art that allowed you to see two different images with only a slight rotation of the piece. For instance, one view would be a tadpole, and with a tilt you would see it turn into a frog. A ribbed layer of clear plastic provided the optic effect. Holograms weren't available yet. Often these were the size of a baseball card or smaller, though I do have one that's 10" x 12". Sometimes they'd be freebies in a box of cereal or ice cream sandwiches.
Does anyone know what these are called? Has anyone ever seen visionary art rendered in this way? I think it would be mind-blowing.

Re: 3D art prints (not holograms)
Sat, February 9, 2008 - 10:19 AMThat type of art is produced using the lenticular effect. The Tool album AEnima has lenticular jewel casing, when you look at the album cover outside of the case it looks like a blurry image with lines running though it, but inside the ribbed cover it looks like the transforming dual image you described. -

Lenticular printing
Sun, February 17, 2008 - 8:14 AMCool--thanks everyone for your input! I'm looking into this further. There is actually an autostereoscopic photography tribe, though the moderator is non-responsive and hasn't touched it since '04. But it looks like lenticular printing is gaining ground in the era of desktop publishing, and doing it yourself is quite common. I would so love to see visionary art rendered in this way... -

Thu, February 14, 2008 - 8:46 AMone of the newer tool cds had a bunch of 3d visuals in it that were stunning. very creative, had its own built in 3d glasses and the images popped wonderfully. -

Thu, February 14, 2008 - 1:50 PMyeah, stereoscopic lenses are really neat. I guess that type of imagery has been around since the eighteen hundreds, it's just not widely used.
If you cross your eyes just right and look at the 10,000 days art, you can actually get the 3-D effect without the use of the lenses, kind of like a magic-eye poster. -
