The study of images in movement as well as those static images, which represent some movement, contributes to the understanding of the role of time as a modulator of the human experience. Different forms of representing and inducing movement in stimuli or in distinct works of visual art shall involve not only specific techniques, but different forms of interaction which only occur when there is an encounter between the work of art and the spectator. The perception of movement, probably, is not confined to a unique decomposition or sum of its constituent greatnesses (time, space and speed), thus in its cognition the internal and external sensations and perceptions are combined, which occur in distinct systems and perceptual systems. Nevertheless, correlated processes shall respond by the perception of real movements, induced and represented ones. Having come from the intersection of temporal space, the utilization of movement in studies of experimental aesthetics can contribute to the understanding of the processes that act in the subjective perception of time.
