This choice of illusion is funny in how ambiguous it tends itself to be! In some cases, the brain picks one pattern and sticks with it, while in other examples, the brain can process both perceptions--or all three--at the same time. What, do you suppose, determines whether we can cognate both patterns at once vs. one over the other?
I really like how you broke down how the brain process the gif and why it does so. The science behind all of these optical illusions is fascinating to me. As well How you brought in the part about sound. Relating visual and aural is very cool thing to do ;) Finally giving a name to those illusions in the real world is fantastic. I have seen the last picture before and no matter how many times I see it I get tripped up. All in all well documented and well though out. I would love to hear an example of you plan to incorporate this into your next work of art.
This was awesome!
The video at the beginning demonstrated how the illusion works really well, and I liked how deep you went into the science behind it. Also, Jigglypuff as seen from above is priceless. I also liked how you related the illusion to an auditory illusion, and that you described your reactions to each image. You really took us step by step through your experience. It's cool to think of bistable perception as a randomized algorithm that your brain is using to fill in the gaps, and making something purposefully ambiguous to have the viewer fill in the rest can be really interesting.
Like Kaalen above, I'd love to hear/see what you can do with this!
I really love your project and find it is very well documented. The video clearly explains how the dancer illusion works and I think I totally understand how the illusion works. I think the real life example part is awesome and the picture is very funny. I think maybe you can have more explanation in the cognitive part, say, how our brain perceives the illusion and how the illusion deceives us.
Generally, the project is very interesting and I enjoyed it a lot!
