How to mess with your head

This is a page by a Japanese artist who creates optical illusions. It's images of discrete objects, but with the color schema and the placement of them, they appear to move. They don't, actually, because if you stare closely, you can clearly observe that no movement is actually taking place in your direct vision. Your periphial, that's another story.

Thanks to Marty for the tip.
