Visual Feedback Illusion
We’ve all seen the visual feedback of an image within an image. But this new version takes things a step further.
Usually the image is just a person holding a frame, and in that frame is the same picture you are looking at, ad infinitum.
In this picture, the same thing is happening, however, the images blend into each other. As you can see there is no definite edge to visual feedback. Both images are carefully blended together.
As I look at this image, my mind tries to comprehend the visual feedback. Every time, I feel like I have got to grips with what I am seeing. Then I realise that there’s a piece that doesn’t make any sense.
There’s a part of me that wonders if this is what M.C Escher’s photograph albums are full of?
Photographs are not the only medium for visual feedback. A form of visual feedback that nearly all of use have probably played around with at some point is hooking up a video camera to a TV and pointing it at the TV monitor. Or at the very least, playing around with a similar setup in an electronics shop.
This creates a vortex style effect where the image seems to get infinitely smaller and smaller, as though it were a tunnel to some alternative dimension.
Visual Feedback Using TV
Here’s a great example of visual feedback, that is done to an artistic standard. Very simple, yet beautiful.
