"Boats"

The ring of boats appears to rotate slowly. The direction is clockwise.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

at a certain point they change into images that you have to move away from and toward to see the movement and i, like the lump that i am, didn't realize it, so my first time thru i didn't see fully half of them moving and was perplexed. thought it was my vision (which is VERY myopic) then saw instructions and got headache!! pretty neat. still, the first one is the best one and also the ones with more blue move more to me and that's why i though it was my vision. the red ones less so.

I like the ones that you have to move in and out to get the effect. "Neural Circuits" is my favorite, because the "concentric arrays of stars" sometimes seem to be spirals, sometimes circles that rotate off-center. I had to carefully examine it before I truly believed they are concentric, non-moving circles!
