3. A Thing of Wonder, Excerpt
2 years ago
83-year old magician, inventor and poet Jerry Andrus has an insatiable appetite for uncovering the mysteries of life on the boundary between reason and illusion. Wandering through his Albany, Oregon, "Castle of Chaos," he demonstrates his incredible inventions (like the Tri-Zonal Space Warper), and waxes philosophic on the subjects of reason, perception, God and what he calls "the curse of contentment."
Reflecting not only his creative genius, but also his principled lifestyle and profound involvement with the problems of human existence, A Thing of Wonder pays tribute to a man devoted equally to the science and magic of wonder.

i made a longer quicktime of just the footage of the warper...
(hope you don't mind)
and was was playing it at full screen.
letting it do it's thing...
but what was really amazing
was that when the clip stopped,
and the qt player window shrunk back down,
the rest of the computer screen
that was outside of the q.t. screen
was all undulating and "warping"
like the surface of all material reality
was about to break into a boil.
amazing optical illusion/effect
i have never encountered before...
that looking at the 3zonewarper for a while
can actually cause the eyes to imprint
the patterns of the warper
so that you see it else where
after looking away.
i called in my girlfirend
and told her what i was seeing
"the walls are moving"
and she thought i was having a flash back...
but then she tried it too
and had the same experience.
did anyone else get this?
By fatiguing the receptors in the eye that are firing the way the spiral is spinning, we are left with the "opposite" receptors firing when we look at a stationary object.
