Justin Flom turns a ceiling corner into a floating cube

Printed decals make an ordinary wall junction look inside-out, while viewers ask whether the illusion survives away from the camera.

Wall looks like it’s melting!

Justin Flom is on a stepladder, trying to make two corners line up. The materials are printed decals, but the finished effect makes a solid chunk of the room appear to float overhead.

His upload, "Wall looks like it's melting!", added about 1.4 million views in a day, more than six times its usual daily pace. Posted five days ago, it shows the construction as well as the reveal: peeling, aligning and pressing the pattern across the junction of ceiling and walls.

The trick is a reversal of depth. As Flom explains while smoothing the surface, the room's inside corner resembles the inside of a box. The printed maze-like pattern persuades the brain to read it as the outside of a cube instead. Nothing is actually melting; this is a physical optical illusion applied to the room.

Once Flom steps down, the camera moves around to show how the apparent cube changes with the viewing angle. That leaves some viewers asking a useful question: does it look the same through human eyes, with their depth perception, as it does on camera? Others compare the effect to a video game failing to render properly or to M.C. Escher's impossible spaces.

There is also a smaller distraction. Flom asks for a credit card to smooth out air bubbles, and several commenters become determined that the card should get his attention.
