      Jake, You're welcome. Your work reminds me of the original Poltergeist. There's something mezmorizing about white noise. Have you seen this image when it's reduced to a thumbnail by Windows? There's an optical illusion that's automatically generated, pixelated waves that swirl within the static -- I'm pretty sure I'm not hallucinating.

      This photo inspired one of my oil paintings at www.flickr.com/photos/arnisto/473906125/in/se t-7215759447...

      I would think that the optical illusion you're seeing is some kind of Moiré patterning.

      Thanks, Jake. Fascinating how our cognition misinterprets an asymmetrical weave. I appreciate your insight.
