Marcel Duchamp - Rotoreliefs
Duchamp recognized that by spinning designs composed as sets of eccentric but concentric circles, a viewer would see the resulting pattern as a three dimensional form even through one eye alone, without the supposedly necessary benefit of stereoscopy! By the 1930s, Duchamp had constructed from his experiments a wonderfully whimsical set of 12 spinning images—from a goldfish in a bowl, to the eclipsed sun seen through a tube, to a cocktail glass, to a light bulb—in order to emphasize his discovery of these three-dimensional effects. Ironically, as another example of harmful separation between truly unified aspects of art and science, art museums almost invariably exhibit these discs as framed, static objects on a wall—whereas they have no meaning, either artistic or scientific, unless they spin.

Famous Musician Mosaics by Mirco Pagano & Moreno De Turco
Do musicians make music or does the music make the musician? Around 6500 CD’s were used to create these astounding mosaics of such musical superstars as Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley, though every icon was made entirely out of their own albums.
