I am not sure if I can explain why Optical Illusions are considered Art.

Perhaps,
because Optical Illusions make us to look at things from different points of view.

They help us to discover something new, unexpected and most of the time beautiful things.

So, I think that most of the Optical Illusions are considered Art because
they visually symbolize the broad meaning of -making- Art:

There are no rectangular formats in nature,
only in art
(paintings, sheets of music or poems, windows, ravioli),
and only if we choose to look at it that way”

I’ve just got my pOp!

Pocket Pictoscope” helps you to find little monster and happy creatures around you.

pOp is a idea by the artist Linosso.

Remember to see things from a different point of view:
this is the hidden message of the optical illusions!

but,
Just one point of view enables us to read properly the work.
