This one’s interesting. The illusion isn’t in seeing the face. It’s always there. The white lines aren’t toally white, they contain a low-contrast grayscale image of the face.
The illusion is in *not* seeing the face up close. The black lines provide such a large contrast to the grays between them that they look white. Essentailly, the low-contrast gray is “drowned out” by the sharp black.
As you move away from the screen this effect diminishes… I’m not exactly sure why but I think it’s because your mind can no longer focus on individual lines and must process the picture as a whole.
