Call for applications:
The Master Experimental Publishing at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, NL (XPUB) is a two-year master focused on the acts of making things public and creating publics in the age of post-digital networks. The course is centered around a variety of questions, such as (partial selection):
How can bots gender vernacular tools at print workshops? Where can note takers write wikidata on squats? Where can oracles hack API's at algoraves? Why do teletype machines repair code documentation in telecom musea? How can administrators explore minor stories in plotter parties? Why do bots jam with social shelves about zine festivals? Where can social justice warriors hack radios in archives? Where can collectives transmit DIY electronics on breakfast clubs? When do gardeners whisper letters at community radio stations? How can (cross) makers explore spreadsheets on

ok, there are illusions but they are not arbitrary as your discussion implies. I your example, the brightness, not color, illusion is due to the surrounding intensities and how the visual system emphasizes relative ove absolute intensity. Necessary as most objects only reflect light and relative intensity is what is more important than absolute intensity. So this illusion illustrates a visual strength not weakness.
Please note that this long time exposure beautifully demonstrates the movement of the Geminids, while earth is passing through - like a very big space ship.
