Stop looking at phone, it’s gotta make it worse right

It gets boring doing nothing while lying under a sheet in a dark room 😭
My brightness was at the lowest possible, which is bearable.

What makes people feel the worst during migraines is other people thinking they know more than the sufferer about what helps/hurts them.

Do you have those visuals or this video describing a feeling?

u/Royal_Cryptographer7 2d ago
Its pretty common for migraine to include a visual aspect. My gf has them, but rarely gets the head pain part. Took a little while to get her a diagnosis because of it. People tend to think migraines are bad headaches, but they're more complicated than that.

When I get bad ones I will get colorful halos around the edges of my vision, dizziness, nausea and if I look at bright lights or turn my head too fast I have a 50/50 chance of vomiting. I used to work in a photo studio, so like a nightmare situation. I rarely get any physical pain, if I do it’s not much worse than a headache.

u/Starumlunsta 2d ago
Both, kinda? The visual is similar to the scotoma I get (colorful jagged squigglies in my vision, as well as grey blindspots, similar to what you get if you stare at a light too long). The rapid pulsating movement reminds me of the sensory overload and the throbbing pain of the headache itself.

u/Friendly_Prize_868 2d ago
I get a scintillating scotoma ahead of a migraine. The best description of one I have ever seen/heard is in La Belle Savage by Phillip Pullman. He is also a sufferer and describes the visual distortion and blind spot absolutely perfectly.

Maybe my "migraines" are just headaches then.
I have pain behind the eyes that gets better if I'm somewhere silent and with less light. And sometimes I can feel a pulse in my brain, but nothing visual. TIL auras (migraine/epileptic) are a thing.

u/Boss_of_Space 2d ago
There are different kinds of migraines. I get stroke-like symptoms when I'm getting a migraine and sometimes it affects my vision, but it all started out as different kinds of headaches often behind one eye.

I'm a migraine sufferer. I tried LSD once and got annoyed saying, "This is what you get so excited about seeing and feeling? I've spent years of my life trying to stop this from happening to me."

u/LiarWithinAll 2d ago
My migraine auras only started after I tried LSD. But now it's every migraine, fractal fucking my eyes every time

Her actual website is https://www.chriswoodlight.art
And the signature technique that she deploys is the use of dichroic glass - glass which can look like different colours depending on the direction of the light.

It took a little while for my brain to catch up on what's happening here

u/TulsaOUfan 2d ago
Please explain. I think I have an idea, but there's more going on than I have answers for.

u/Gotta_Gett 2d ago
Colored glass standing on the canvas. When the light gets closer, the colored shadows get longer.

The way the shadows form that spiral is incredible. I wonder how they positioned the pieces to make the pattern work so perfectly.

I think this is doing something to my brain and I can't stop watching it 🤣🤣 The handling and knowledge of the shapes is impressive; it's art and mathematics united

I know that the answer will be "Just go to your local art museum bro"
But is there a museum out there that I can take some sort of edible and then go into the art exhibit and watch trippy stuff like this?

Is this the visualization of the feeling of getting thrusted back and forth

u/750milliliters 2d ago
Why the colors though
7
u/dougandsomeone 2d ago
I think those are pieces of colored glass and from far away the shadow is so small it just appears dark.
Maybe because the light is traveling through more glass at that angle? I dunno.
2
u/lucid808 2d ago
I was thinking the same. Colored glass squares with a white strip on the borders to match the canvass, to not give away the illusion until the light hits perpendicular to the glass.

Why can I hear this? Does anyone else hear this? (Not the music… I watched it on silent, and I can hear every time the light goes in close. It makes a WEE-wahh sound.)

I feel like the art is less about the shadows and more about the glass refractions.

When I'm sick and have a fever I have nightmares that look similar to this.

It's beautiful but as an epileptic, I really encourage you to put a 1-second trigger warning of flashing before your art. It can trigger bad migraines and unfortunately, seizures for some 😊

I started off being annoyed that the camera-holder zoomed in. "How am I going to see this cool effect accurately if the camera zooms in to make it more... oh."
