Yes, I've seen both Jacobs and Conrad. And Kubelka, Sharits, etc.
This is the most minimal of flicker films, of all films for that
matter, in that it is simply b/w in alternation, with no attempt at
making analogies to music, etc.

Many years ago, I saw a couple hours straight of Ken Jacob's flicker

THE FIRST MOVIE
2006
This movie simply alternates between black and white frames, but I
find the effect produced by such a simple device to be far more
interesting than the description might suggest. If you gaze directly
at the movie, I suspect you will see, as did I, a definite
chocolate-tinted background, with all kinds of cracks and fissures
within the frame, which I assume are related to the configuration of
retinal nerves within one’s own eyeballs. So in effect it is a movie
about looking upon the walls of the eye-cave, and hence is a movie
about the source of vision itself.
