response to shimmer

I had some interesting responses to the brief video shimmer from a couple of weeks ago. My colleague Scott deLahunta wrote:

[the video] really highlights the variation going on across the whole surface of the body, the small balancing adjustments, the small dancing going on. which you miss normally since your attention is dragged toward quicker, bigger things.

Scott was reminded of David Rokey’s watch, and written on that page is the following:

People are only visible if they are in motion. They float as outlines of themselves in a dimensionless void, and disappear again as soon as they are still.
