Spoiler... It's very carefully calibrated. At 2x speed you see things change; at 0.5x you see them in transition.

  Not only is the timing calibrated, but also I think the setting (& a lot of the changes). The curtain change seems significant except that it's against a reflective window with items visible behind in darkness - that lends itself to vague/semi-transparent objects being "acceptable" to the eye within that space. The blue & yellow picture and rug are also blurry/vague patterns which lend themselves to fading in/out. The ceiling is dirty off-white, lending itself to tiles being off-colour at times. The books on the shelves the same. The only very "finite" objects in the scene (and by far the easiest to notice changing) are the wine bottles.

  I wonder if size is also an issue. I watched it full screen at 34". I saw changes ghosting in where I was looking e.g. bottles appearing over the top of books. I couldn't pay attention to the whole scene because there is just so much clutter so I didn't notice the curtain moving and such but I could tell other objects were greying in my peripheral vision though. I can't really call the experience as an illusion, just an example of how narrow my attention is of a complex scene. Maybe if I wasn't looking at something so big, I wouldn't be concentrating on such small subsections of the scene.
