Television Snow & Radial Edges
(illusion - seeing motion)

Television snow is usually very boring. We change the channnel. In this exhibit, the snow is alive and seems to run in circles around the straight lines. Since the snow dots are constantly going off and on, this pattern helps the snow "move" around the straight lines, even though the dots are only blinking.
