Visiting the “Making Music Modern” exhibit at the MoMA let me see how implied movement with sound can help increase the images’s ability to seem as if it were moving. There was one video that had a few images moving, one of which was static, but since it popped up on the screen and was paired with music caused it to successfully be seen as having movement. If the image was by itself, with no sound, the implied movement may not  have been so clear.

It was also interesting to see how a few shapes placed together, whether it be through layering, transparency, spacing, and scale could help imply movement in a non-moving image.

My favorite pieces within the exhibit were the ones using lines. It’s easy and simple to use a line to imply movement. The eye can easily follow the line of implied movement. This just reminds me how simple versus complex can be just as effective when creating designs, which is something people tend to forget because everyone wants to  be unique and stand out.
