Moiré Kit

  • This pack comprises an in depth investigation into the fascinating properties of Moirés, or interference patterns.
    There are 7 sets of screens (18 x 12.5 cm, printed on photographic film, although one set of screens is double size) each demonstrating a different effect. One of the most amazing effects is where the Moiré pattern becomes magnified, when you rotate one screen against the other.
    Another amazing effect is when you slide the top screen sideways, and part of the image moves left, and other parts move in the opposite direction!

    Tim feels his life is so busy as it is, there is no spare time for anything more. Also he is in the Grand Illusions office at least once a week, so if there is a link or website he wants to see, he uses one of the computers in the office to view it. And people know they can e-mail Tim via Grand Illusions.

    2:00 You can see how it works just looking at the video. One sheet has small slits. The other has compressed hearts and spades. The slits get a little bit of each heart and spade, each one slightly moved relative to a given heart or spade. So they look much wider than they are printed. It's essentially Nyquist aliasing, where your sampling frequency is too low.

    Take out backlight and diffuser films from lcd, supply it with correct voltage, use monitor plastic as housing and cover it with plexiglass. But it is easier said than done. Beware, capacitors can be still charged to very high voltage even if monitor wasnt plugged in for long time. Best for you is to go to computer repair service and they will tell you more how to do it.
