what is anamorphosis?

In july 2017 I’ve participated to a workshop in Valencia, Spain, about how superficial applications can affect the perception of three dimensional spaces.
This case study involved the use of Anamorphosis technique, a distorted projection requiring the viewer to occupy a specific vantage point to reconstruct the image.
For this group work a 2D image was created with AutoCAD and after imported to Rhino.
Once in Rhino, an algorithm, created via Grasshopper (Rhino plug-in) let us obtain a focal point of view. From this point the image was projected on all of the 3D model surfaces encountered, so that from every other point of view the complete image was not able to be seen.
Once the 3D model was generated, the next steps were to print the image and create a physical model of the scene.
The printed image was cut and adapted to the model.
The result was that the viewer was able to see the shapes distributed on multiple surfaces and so to recreate the original 2D image.
