Finally! some use for my 3-D glasses I have in my junk drawer since Robot Monster.

Structural biology journals used to use this sort of image to show pictures of 3-D structures of proteins, back when print was more important than online.

One could do building size versions of those classic stripper pens. :heart_eyes:

I have a large collection of West coast concert posters, and there are several by Victor moscoso for the Avalon ballroom that feature red and blue ink. some of them look like they obviously were made to suggest movement- I can’t recall the artist right now but there is one of a winged lady with red and blue wings in different positions. I would use a pair of cardboard glasses given with 3D comics, blink my eyes back and forth, and it would look like she was raising her wings.
I asked other collectors about this and nobody really seemed to know anything about it. I thought perhaps there were flickering lights that you could put a red and a blue bulb in that would blink alternate leak and turn the posters on your walls into kinetic artwork, but I’ve never heard of anything like that existing.
