A kaleidoscopic journey midway between art and science, in the city of Padua where these two worlds have always intertwined: from Galileo to the school of psychology of perception and the birth of Group N, a Paduan artistic-cultural collective at the forefront of optical-kinetic art to which the monograph that concludes the exhibition is dedicated.

Am I in Padua or New York? The alienation, the hallucinations, the dizziness caused by many of the works on display, could lead the viewer to ask such a question when visiting this exhibition. Deliberately conceived within an international perspective, the exhibition in fact explores artistic visions and the many ways in which, from the Middle Ages to today, the sense of sight has been deceived, duped, and deluded.
