👀 See Halloween in a New Light 💡

Light can reveal things. Shadows can hide them. But can you always trust either?

This year’s Halloween celebrations are inspired by light and shadow and their extraordinary ability to change what we see. As you explore Twist, discover how light, colour, contrast and darkness can fool your eyes and confuse your brain. Watch images appear where there were none, experience colours that aren’t really there and discover how shadows can completely transform what you think you’re looking at.

At Twist, seeing isn’t always believing and this Halloween, the most interesting things might just be hiding in the dark. I see half-term in a new light. What will you see?
