what it is
five classic illusions .. rotating snakes, the twisted tunnel, the fraser spiral, the ouchi disc, a bulging checkerboard .. collaged by code into one still. nothing is animated. your eye does the moving.
the code is stored on-chain on base. every edition is drawn from it, from a seed the chain sets at mint.
