Persistence of vision—the optical phenomenon where the eye retains images briefly after they disappear—is being explored across multiple creative disciplines right now. Museums, choreographers, filmmakers, and engineers are all leveraging this visual trick in exhibitions, performances, and interactive installations.
·Lucinda Childs presents a choreography work centered on persistence of vision
·Gropius Bau hosts an exhibition exploring the optical principle through contemporary art
·Movie Madness runs a film education program dedicated to persistence of vision techniques
·Engineers are using the effect to create flying light displays and 3D optical illusions
·A clock design warps perceived time using optical illusion mechanics
