Reach for It

In Reach For It, a series of sticks are loosely suspended in a table top so that they stick out top and bottom. Visitors look through a pair of prism glasses that transmute the standard view of the world while trying to reach under the table for one designated stick. The shift in the visual field created by the prism initially renders the task difficult; but presently the eye-brain apparatus adjusts to the new situation and the task becomes easier.
