bildesblokker

Bildesblokker are a type of optical illusion that involves perceiving a static image as a continuous, motion-filled scene. The term is of Norwegian origin, and is usually defined as a still image that produces a sense of animation or movement without any actual movement taking place.

Bildesblokker typically involve a series of static images displayed in rapid succession, often with slight variations in each frame. This creates a perception of motion, as the human brain attempts to fill in the gaps between the individual frames. This effect is often referred to as the "Minimum Flicker" or "Persistence of Vision" phenomenon.

The effect is created through a combination of factors, including the use of flickering or rapid rotation of the images, as well as variations in the relative motion between the images and the observer. In some cases, additional visual cues such as changes in lighting or color may also contribute to the perception of animation.

Bildesblokker have a long history of use in advertising, aviation, and entertainment, as a means of conveying complex or technical information in a simple and engaging way. They remain a popular tool for creating visually striking and engaging displays.

In a broader sense, bildesblokker represent an interaction between the viewer, the motion, and the image, highlighting the dynamic and flexible nature of visual perception. The phenomenon highlights the processing capabilities of the human brain in interpreting visual information and illustrating the versatile nature of visual representation.
