This a picture of my Mandala
It is constructed in the form of a Phenakiscope.. a historical animation technique whose principle was recognized by Newton but not invented until 1841 by a Belgian scientist Joseph Plateau..The colors orange yellow red and blue are my choices as I am mostly warm but need a bit of cool thrown in...
The machine works by attaching a rod to the center and spinning in front of a mirror while looking through the slots on the edge.. It works with the principal of persistence of vision.. the slots creating a strobe effect.. I am curious about adapting moving elements while still retaining its historical perspective, orientation and aesthetic quality.
