Dynamic Optical Art Philip Turner inspired by Harry Turner

category : SPECIAL PROJECTS This is a companion volume to the main work, Exercises In Superimposition (q.v.), which is based on notes and drawings made by the graphic artist Harry E. Turner in the 1960s/70s with exemplary designs created by the artist & the compiler.    Whilst working on the source volume, the compiler spotted that a number of the stacked designs have psychedelic qualities if scrolled rapidly up and down by flicking a mouse wheel forward and back.    This brief accessory collects the original designs that show the 3D effect. It also contains some extra designs to further illustrate the effect – or lack of it when the figure has the wrong sort of central complexity.    The PDF file is intended for display on a PC (proper computer) using a mouse to flip the designs up & down; ideally at 100% or 150% view on a decent-size screen depending on the size of the elements in the design; to learn which of the designs are just superimposed patterns and which have hidden talents.
