Here is a context free sketch that really needs to be run to appreciate it (links to library download at github above). I'm not sure why the bands don't fit edge to edge, still it does not spoil the effect. There is definitely an illusion of lateral movement with the colored bands, further owing to persistence of vision, the circles and squares seem to dissolve into each other.
