Vision Machine

So its a couple hours before architecture studio and I still have no idea what to create for our new project.  The new problem is to design a machine that can make you see like a Cubist artist sees his painting, and the second part is to design a machine that makes the user see nothingness.  I've thought of illusions with water, but I don't think that will achieve the Cubist vision, only a blurred distorted vision.  I'm looking into mirrors now and maybe that will reveal some of the "better" answers since there is only better and worse responses.  As for seeing nothingness its obviously a trick question that is open to interpretation of what nothingness is...maybe trying to define it will help.
