optical illusions

This past weekend, my significant-something spent two days moving several very large pieces of production equipment.

It should have gone smoothly. He knew the equipment, had the right crew, and had a supposedly accurate floor plan to work from.

The problem was with the “supposedly” bit. It turned out that no one had actually *measured* the equipment or the floor. They’d just guessed at space and sizes, and so the result was your typical “maybe that couch would look better over here? No, lets try it over on that wall….” furniture moving scenario.

Nothing fit where it was supposed to, so it had to be moved three times instead of once.

What’s all this got to do with art and mind tweaks? I’m getting to it, I promise.
