Flag by Jasper Johns

Flag (Moratorium), 1930

Look at the white dot on the middle of the painting for 30 secs, then look at the white screen under this.

wikipedia - Jasper Johns

After image

Instructions:
1. Focus on the small white square in the middle of the picture for about 15 seconds (ignore the moving circle). Try not to blink. Then look at a white screen under the picture. You should see colors. What colors do you see?

2. Try the experiment again, except this time move your eyes to follow the little circle. After following the circle for 15 seconds, look at the white screen under the picture. Do you still see the colors?


















What's Happening:
In the retina of your eyes, there are 3 types of color receptors (cones) that are most sensitive to either red, blue or green. When you stare at a particular color for too long, these receptors get "tired" or "fatigued." When you then look at the white background, the receptors that are tired do not work as well. Therefore, the information from all of the different color receptors is not in balance and you see the color "afterimages." You can see that you vision quickly returns to normal.

In the second experiment when you follow the moving circle, your eyes are always moving. Therefore, you do not give a particular color the chance to tire your receptors.

visual trick

1. Look at the moving pink dot, you will only see one colour, pink.
2. Look at "+" in the middel of the image, you will see the moving dot become green.
3. Stare at "+" long time, pink dots will disappear and you only will see a moving green dot.
