![]() ![]() By quickly changing the directions the effect feels very strong, compared to mine where you can control the direction. The first video I had seen of this effect. The Twitter user who posts neat illusions and unique code-art. ![]() You’ll also notice that the movement feels even stronger in the center, and when changing direction, perhaps due to the alternating patterns of the arrows and the circles. This means that at any given moment the circle will alternate on it’s directional edges light and dark, which causes the mind (when set to the right background!) to create a false movement. In this case, we have a RGB gradient collection that alternates between light and dark at the 25%, 50% and 75% marks of the total gradient (100%) … we then apply this gradient to the circles with a small inset of 1 pixel to the 25% and the 75% which are rotated to the direction chosen. Similar reversed effects can be seen in stereo when positive and spatially shifted negative images are presented separately to the two eyes or in a Vernier alignment task when the two images are juxtaposed one above the other. Reversed apparent motion (or reversed phi) can be seen during a continuous dissolve between a positive and a spatially shifted negative version of the same image. When in Grayscale you’ll also be able to see the “trick” of the effect a little easier, as the colors really are part of the distraction.įirstly I’ll link to a great paper about this effect and a quick quote, and then do my best explaination of how it works based on how I built this (again, based on Jagarikin’s video). There’s a few fun things you can do with the settings too, like changing the speed of the color change, or the size of the circles, as well as changing the background which will significantly alter the effect.įor me the different speeds along with interaction give me a great effect, but its also cool to see that the effect persists and sometimes feels stronger when in grayscale. Although I wanted an interactive version.Īs you move your mouse (or tap) around the central circle you shoudl experience what will feel like the circles on the page changing direction, and in some ways the feeling that they’re moving in said direction. Hands down, my favorite websites are Reddit, and are.This example I’ve built is inspired by the twitter user, who has posted multiple videos of similar effects including spirals and other shapes, that I also hope to re-create. What is your favorite site on the internet? I still make websites but nowadays most of my time is taken up by graduate school, I’m getting a masters degree in philosophy, poetics and mysticism. In the early 2000’s I started making websites for friends, started getting hired to make websites, and a few years after that, I began exhibiting websites as installations and browser-based art. I started making websites in the late 90’s, my first website was on, and it was an offshoot of one of my zines. What got you into web development? What are you working on now? I also got a job at adult swim after they saw Cat Bounce, so I can attest: cats are Internet gold. In 2019 it won a Webby Award and I still get tons of email every week from people who either love it, hate it, or want me to make a site like it but with dogs. The weirdest/most surprising thing about Cat Bounce is that it’s had an incredibly long shelf-life. What is the weirdest thing that has come from owning/running such a unique-not-really-having-a-purpose site? The working title of the site was ‘Internet Crowd Pleaser’ but I ended up calling it Cat Bounce because it was less of a mouthful and it was WYSIWYG (more or less). I also recognized the Internet-popularity of cats and I wanted to see if I could make something that would be a hit on the Internet. I decided to replace the balls that bounced around the screen with cut-outs of cats because I’m a cat freak. ![]() I made Cat Bounce in 2012 when I was fooling around with a physics engine in Flash. What were the circumstances behind creating your site? ![]()
