I think about this image quite often; it illustrates that only a small part of image gets 'sent' to our brains at a time. There are moments where we see the whole image, but then it quickly goes back to 'read bit-by-bit'.
That piece-by-piece is why it doesn't exactly trigger the 'uncanny' or 'weird' feeling.
It also highlights why composition is important and the whole 'guide one's eyes' has merit.
At this point I can't retrace the source of this image.
