Persistance of Vision

persistence of vision, the perceptual processes of the retina of the human eye retains an image for a brief moment. Persistence of vision is said to account for the illusion of motion which results when a series of film images are displayed in quick succession, rather than the perception of the individual frames in the series.

a good example of this can be found in the work by Gregory Barsamian

Read this amazing examination of, What Makes a Good Portrait.
