In Demon Hill, the rules of gravity don't apply as you expect them to.
Down is not down, exactly. The room, created by Los Angeles artist
Julian Hoeber and on display at the Harris Lieberman Gallery in New
York, is modelled on a stock roadside attraction, Hoeber says. It's
based on a simple trick: the room is tilted on a compound angle. The
result is disorienting and highly popular -- drawing about 20,000 people
when it appeared in L.A. Michael Landy, professor of neural science and
psychology at New York University, explains how the piece creates a
battle between our senses.
