Juan Pinkus, a creative coder and designer in Buenos Aires, created Elastic Grid, an interactive piece of mesmerizing mindfuckery. The screenshot above is static but in the actual online artwork, you can manipulate the pattern by clicking and dragging on the animated op art grid of black and white rectilinear shapes, stretching and distorting it in real time with real weird results.
Be warned that the effects may linger long after you look away.
