An Island of Dots

Seurat, Jatte, and Dots.  It's all about the dots.  Georges Seurat used a scientific method of using little dots to create this painting.  The brain does the rest. It is proof that we really see with our brain and not our eyes. The dots of color when seen together creates new colors and images. The brain does the work of putting the dots together and mixing the colors.  It took Seurat 2 years to create this painting of dots.  There is a modern commercial that imitates this painting.  Who can guess that commercial?

I couldn't find the commercial, but I did find this.
