Perception of a fixed object changes across duration spent with it

Evidence

I realized I needed to look at every single panel, spending the same amount of time on each one, since each color vibrated differently, or rather, my perception of the color did. Strange as it sounds to call a flat, monochromatic painting a “time-based medium,” there was actually something to find out in each one—or rather, between me and each one—and the longer time I spent, the more I found out. — Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing, 386
