ArtistJames Nolan Gandyis known for his mix of artistry and mechanical ingenuity.
However, one of his latest videos captured our attention for a different reason.
The time-lapse actually makes it appear as though the drawing is growing faster than the machine is actually moving.
The ink seems to ooze like liquid across the paper, much faster than the pen can keep up.
It’s both fascinating and confusing to watch.
It’s actually the same stroboscopic effect that we’ve seenfreeze bird wingsor make ahelicopter appear frozenin mid-air.
But Gandy doesn’t need a special illusion to make his work fascinating.
Even his videos without the slowed down effect are hypnotic to watch.
And if you like what you see, he sells the finished spiral drawingsvia his websiteat quite reasonable prices.
