This marvelous fountain created by James Dyson seems to be willing to prove that water is not submitted to the same gravity forces as the rest of the known universe. waters seem to flow up the four slopes.

Fountain Illusion
As a matter of fact, water really flows in the usual direction and is obeying physics laws, but the combination of a very thin laminated flow on the top of slopes and of bubbles dragged in the flow under them build the necessary illusion.
Would I have a garden or a loft, I would want to have that fountain to decorate it.

Felice Varini is a weird kind of guy. Painter, artist, he projects (sic!) his paintings on various surfaces. But you can only appreciate it fully if you are in the right location: Where the perspective will render all the image in its full glory as it was built from a 3D illusion.
