Zoetrope, a vintage toy that was originally developed in the 1830s. And 3D printing<\/a> brings a whole new level to the concept of the device.<\/p>\n

The traditional zoetrope consists of a cylinder with cuts vertically on the sides, of which the inner surface is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the cuts at the pictures across. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together, and the user sees a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion.<\/p>\n

All Things Fall By Mat Collishaw<\/h2>\n

This zoetrope is inspired by a painting by Ippolito Scarsella of The Massacre of Innocents. The work, named “All things Fall”, is made of steel, aluminum, plaster, resin, lit by LED lights and powered by an electric motor.<\/p>\n

Collishaw says: \u201cThe Massacre of the Innocents painting functions in a very different way to the Caravaggio works I’ve selected. His paintings are solitary and melancholic, whereas the latter thrive on the repetition of characters spread across the canvas. They are designed to excite our emotions and to keep our eyes moving around the surface in an agitated manner without intimacy and with no focal point. The zoetrope capitalizes on this, literally repeating characters to create an overwhelming orgy of violence that is simultaneously appalling and compelling.\u201d<\/p>\n
