Flip Sculptures!



Gregory Barsamian bases his work on persistence of vision, instead of making flip books though, he makes flip sculptures! Instead making individual images as for animation, he makes sculptures for each instant, then rotates them around. Watching the movies of these on his website is amazing, seeing it in person must be mystifying.

Interesting. There is an interactive exhibit like this at our local science museum where visitors can pose gloves on a turntable and make them animate this way.

I didn't care for the strobe-light effect. Is that a film/camera-to-internet thing, or part of the exhibition?
