I totally agree with bnmc07 and the fact that you should have focus on the way the eye gradually adjusts to the image/painting interfering in our sense of space, and also of perception and subjective emotions. Nevertheless an interesting experiment.
Mark Rothko is a master.but his way of painting was basically outside the paint: it's the paint that give a qualification to the space and not the opposite. Your experiment is a good one, but i think it doesn't share anything with him.i'm not saying you didn't understand anything about that. About the emotions i dont agree.Rothko was a quiet artist,the opposite of Jackson Pollock:his way of painting was think up, slow...emotions, but controlled!
you don't understand rothko at all. he himself said "I am not interested in relationships of color or forms or anything else . . . I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions . . . If you are only moved by their (the paintings)color relationships then you miss the point" His art has nothing to do with the color you dwell so much on but it has to do with the emotion you feel when viewing it. Go take another look and then do one on how you feels when viewing a Rothko.
@rebecca09suzanne - Interesting, and I do not disagree, but Rothko nonetheless is referred to as a 'colorist'. Yet what does it mean to be ""only moved by their (the pointings') color relationships...'" except "the emotion you feel when viewing..."? Perhaps one analyzes how the color affects one, while the second refers directly to the effect? It seems the same to me. (an artist)
I really really lke what you're trying to do here my only desire would be to let the images stay up longer. Let them radiate. That would be closer to the essence of what Rothko did in his paintings. Your impatience shows through. Just let the image be- and let the eye adjust for a good minute before changing it.
This is an interesting and unique feature of youtube, and quite efficacious.

See comments below, you don't understand Rothko at all.
Think "Mark Rothko: The MTV tribute" and imagine the spin of his ashes.

Stars of the lid would be more apt. Requiem for dying mothers perhaps ?

@amratheblack - A good point. The music and the images were interferring with my response to each, so I muted the sound.
