Kind of an oversimplification here: Moiré is a form of interference pattern, in this case the "grid" of OP's image has a different pitch from the grid on your phone or computer display. By continuously changing the zoom (in contrast to discontinuously), the interference pattern shifts to create "peaks and valleys."

dystopia is the hundreds of dead bodies crammed together in a Seoul alleyway on Halloween 2022. dystopia is not regulating the flow of traffic
Oh I don't mean that the crowd control itself is distopic. It's only the way that it's done and how the photo is taken that gives a distopic vibe.
I was thinking the exact same thing. This is the opposite of dystopian, this shows a government that cares about citizen safety.
Return to your hovel, citizen

Apologies, citizen. You may pass. I am but a humble autocop.Have you ever seen a crowd surge?
No, but I once saw a peanut stand.
I've seen a surge protector.
Did anyone else click and zoom for fun moiré effect?
