OP ART — VASARELY BRIDGET RILEY OPTICAL VIBRATION VISUAL STYLE
VISUAL STYLE: Op Art in the tradition of Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Geometric patterns engineered to create optical illusions of movement, depth, and vibration. The image appears to pulse, breathe, and shift — yet nothing actually moves. Visual perception as the subject.
COLOUR PALETTE: Two approaches available. Riley's early work: pure black (#000000) and white (#FFFFFF) — the optical vibration emerges from pattern alone, no colour required. Vasarely's later work: complementary colour pairs that advance and recede against each other — red/green, blue/orange, purple/yellow — selected for maximum retinal tension. One approach per scene, never mixed.
PATTERN LOGIC: Grids that bulge at their centres. Concentric circles that appear to spiral. Parallel lines that seem to curve. Checkerboards that appear to ripple. The geometry is precise — the illusion emerges from precision, not from distortion.
MOVEMENT: The video appears to be moving even when the camera is static. The optical effect IS the animation. Small changes in pattern density create the sensation of waves passing through the image.
TYPOGRAPHY: Integrated into the optical field — letters constructed from the same grid logic as the surrounding pattern. Text vibrates along with everything else.
No photographs. No organic forms. No gradients. Only the grid, the pattern, and the eye's involuntary response to it.
