    For the people that may not know what to look for or can’t see the illusion, Slowly tilting your phone (or monitor I guess) makes it look like Patrick is slightly bobbing back and forth in the void. Should be obvious what it is supposed to be I guess.

    Actually, shaking fast also works just found out. Somehow the image of Patrick lags behind the movement of the border when the brain processes what it’s looking at.

      I don’t know this for sure but I’m thinking this is happening due to something about how OLED/AMOLED screens work.

    Oh yeah, that’s cool, the QR code around him began expanding and taking over my entire field of vision. The only thing I can see now besides this black and white void is Patrick on the mechanical seahorse… stationary… beckoning to me to give him another quarter… I must go now.

      After a few seconds it looks like Patrick is moving independently from the background border. Basically he just turns his head towards you and opens his mouth like he’s screaming. A jpeg obviously doesn’t make any sound, lol, but it’s drawn in such a way that we all know what must be done
