For an account of the physical, see The By-Any-Other-Name Virus Story.

This is a layer cake of white acrylic paint, strips and pieces of tracing paper, yellow, red and blue dilute paint, more tracing paper pieces, water, and finally a full-sized A3 acetate, matte varnished. The paint is trapped between the layers, some of which curled and wrinkled thereby adding to the effect. It’s less yellow than my experience, but the blurring and sense of shifting boundaries are pretty close.
