EVELYN//RESEARCH OF DEVELOPMENT IDEAS: 'MOTION-INDUCED BLINDNESS'

In my last post, I showed research of Simons and Chabris's science experiment (1999). It was a test about Selective Blindness. Another similar phenomenon is called motion-induced Blindness, which is a visual disappearance or perceptual illusions. This is a more abstract topic, and it is more about colours. 

Here is an online image. The test is when you focus on the flickering green dot at the centre for ten seconds, then you might find one, two, or three static yellow dots disappear and reappear. The interesting thing is when I experiment with this test, the yellow dots stayed on the imaginary equilateral triangle and did not flash. I think it is the reason is microsaccades, a study from NCBI.

Time, dreams and natural forms are the main subjects of my art. I work with multimedia, painting and video are the most common techniques. Although I transferred from a painter to a video artist, painting is still an important element of my work. My videos are combinations of paintings, photography, and films. Influenced by animation, I like flat colours and a clean outline. Also, I edit images to be brighter which gives a visual sparseness and vibrant luminosity. My art is the shadow of myself. They show my background, experience, personality, and emotions. My ethnicity is Chinese and my family belief is Buddhism; I studied at a Christian college in Hong Kong. In 2017, I came to the UK to study art. The conflict between western and eastern cultures become an inspiration in my art career. Moreover, I like travelling. I always bring my camera and sketchbook with me to create art diaries.
