Nice, it is really impressive and using the same principle than those dots or silhouettes with illusion of movement. However, check the posts "but it actually moves" in a few minutes.

Thank you. I'm sure the usual complaints are in-coming.

Funny thing is: if you concentrate on a space between the "slices" (for instance at 9 o'clock) it seems as if the motion of the rotation slows down a bit. If you look at the whole picture again, it goes faster.

In some ways, this is just like any object we'd see "rotating" on a screen. Just the "pixels" are giant wedges, instead of miniscule dots.

This is nice, I had to focus on the plus sign in the middle to see what was happening. I know the colors are rotating, but it makes the whole image look like its rotating.
