1. I can't really see anything moving
but I suppose it has to do with the colors being on the opposite sides of the color wheel, and so when they fatigue the rods (or is it cones?) for that wavelength, you see the opposite color, which makes it look like it is moving. That's what I would suspect anyway.

Look thru a small aperture at any place on the pic, movement stops.

Cool.
