The Responsive Eye

The Responsive Eye was an exhibition in 1965 created by William C Seitz for the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) New York.
The exhibition explored art that created illusions of movement that tricked the human eye.

Below shows a short DVD of the exhibition itself.

Interviews / Questions

Whilst being in the summer, I thought now would be a good oppourtunity to email some artists / designers work that I could use as part of my research for my GARP.
This allows for plenty of notice and also I can see who will participate and who wont.

So far, I emailed Simon C. Page, Melvin Galapon and Give Up Art...whom all replied back to me with a yes!
However, three people haven't replied back to me.
