 An entrancing short film by designer and artist Ruslan Khasanov (previously) fuses multiple optical tricks into a single work.

The hypnotic footage utilizes pareidolia—the inclination to see an object where it physically doesn't exist—while referencing heterochromia iridum, a fairly common condition in which a person's irises are multi-colored, sometimes in the forms of spikes radiating around the pupil or swirls that split the tissue with different hues.

Paint, Oil, Milk, and Honey Mix in this Surreal Macro Video of Swirling Liquids by Thomas Blanchard

It turns out that watching paint mix is a heck of a lot more interesting than watching paint dry. French director Thomas Blanchard shot this lovely short of colored paints, oil, milk, and honey as they mix and bead under a macro lens. He says the video is intended as "an analogy of feelings such as anger, love, sadness and joy [as they] they mix and eventually ease."
