Eyes and movement

One of the less obvious, but extremely important common features of our eyes, is the way they move, either by themselves or as part of a moveable head or body.

I would like to record this movement with my photographic techniques by producing a set of Anaglyph images in which they‘ve been used to provide a stereoscopic 3D (3 dimensional Imaging effect), when viewed with 2 color glasses.

Humans are foragers;we take a more than visual interest in what things are.But even our eyes are tubed,first and foremost,to motion.In 1875 the Viennese physiologist Sigmund Exner showed that two brief,stationary dots into moving objects makes a great deal of scene in nature,where prey and predators disappear and reappear constantly,as they move through glass ,run behind trees,and peer around rocks.Every film and TV programme ever made depends on the power of phenomena (called the phi phenomenon).Both display still images quickly enough for our eyes to read them as a single moving image
