oct 16, 1912 - Theorist: Max Wertheimer Phi Phenomenon
Description:
In 1912, within Gestalt Psychology, Max Wertheimer defined the phi phenomenon, an optical illusion in which stationary objects shown in rapid succession appear to move.Essentially, the most broken-down drawings and their frames have space in between them that don't actually exist, but are created in your mind to blend the motion smoothly, feeling as if it's a neverending motion.
