not sure about this one. What am I supposed to see?
Rings of dots (appear to) slowly rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on the angle of the dot's shading.
I have seen this before, many times, but it is still amazing. It proves that seeing is not always believing.
OK thanks Steve.
Here is one for you Rik. This patterned after David C. Roy kinetic sculpture "shimmer wood".
youtube of his sculpture is here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iQO_UUjDqM

Guess you'll have io click on the swf to open sorry.
Thanks Rik it is very interesting creating animation with a single frame, that is the performance :D
Grace: The illusion works on the fact that you don't keep your eyes, still.
If you keep your eyes perfectly still, then nothing will appear to move.
But, as we generally move our eyes slightly (looking here then over there a bit, and so on) then things appear to move.
Bummer! It just doesn't work for me. :(
