what do you think?

I have to squint a bit to see it as anything other than a rotating distorted vase (which it is). But it does suggest an interesting development. Don't spin the vase but rig it so that the 'faces' on each side can be fully animated as true faces, with a conversation sound track. If I can find a suitable sound track, I might just steal that idea!

ahhhh I can't see any faces ,must be my eyes lol

[Dark_Jedi]

i see the faces but the vase makes it hard to focus on them lol

[Dhar]

I see the faces. Each one seems to say "yeeaaoo" as the vase turns

Could also be a fast burping contest.

 

I see, also, a take off of one of those music boxes. Instead of only one 'bump' on the spinning vase, make several different 'bumps' so when it spins, it will move the mouths through a series of mouth shapes for music or speech. Spinning at a slower speed may help this. Interesting.

I see nothing but a spinning shape

I agree with Dennis; I dont see anything but the spinning shape. Maybe I am tired or something.

This is an old negative space / positive space demonstration in art 101. It looks better in 2D. 3D seems to take the illusion away a bit.

dood. yer blowing my mind.

 

...

 

also, try lowering the contrast (higher ambiance, more direct lighting) to come closer to the more effective 2d source of the trick.
