An art exibit in London called "The Russian Lineman" is featuring a marvious show that blurs the edges of reality thru art. One of the featured art work is a mirrored TARDIS that is shown in the picture in the copied link below. This is one art exibit I would love to go to because I love this kind of art anyway, they include trompe l'oeil paintings and other works besides the TARIDS. But that is the peice I would probably like to see the most! http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23639332-details/Reflective+Doctor+Who+Tardis+on+show+at+Hayward+Gallery/article.do

Hi Elic, The things they do for art, but I do like the Tardis, it does looks as though it is disappearing, brilliant reflection. It cost too much money for me to go to London to Hayward Gallery, the train fare is experience and then the cost of entrant fee, its too much, although it does not take long to get there, I wouldn't mind seeing the Tardis.

I would just hope it is easier to guide than the Doctor's.

Hi ElicBxn! I would like to see it too. I can't say that I've ever heard of an artist using such tricks of illusion in their work. It would be awesome to see.

when I first met my former roomie she told me about this art display she had gone to that used glass and mirrors and stuff where it was 1 way glass and people on the inside couldn't tell they were being seen from the other side.

Do you visit very many art shows? I have a couple of art museums in my area but have only visited one which is pretty small.

I'd rather go to a natural science musueam than an art one, but I have to say that most of the art on my walls are either orginal art or handcolored prints.

there's a difference from an apple looking like an apple and a door way that leads to a garden that doesn't exist, but looks like it does
