Light Color and Seeing

Your experience of the world influences what you see.

If you want to stay hidden, you'd better stay still.

Art and science meet in a tube of mirrors.

Mira fijamente un color, pero ve otro.

Proyecta imágenes del sol sobre un papel usando tus manos.

Test your vision—just by moving your head.

See shadowy shapes floating inside your own eye.

Submerge yourself in underwater color perception.

Is pure water colorless?

Control the (apparent) size of a hole with your brain.

Contemplate the continuum of cinema at After Dark.
