Other optical viewing devices, 2002-2007

I made several more devices up until and during my MFA studies at Concordia; they are all based on existing designs of Victorian optical toys: the phenakistoscope, the zoetrope, and the praxinoscope. It is interesting to note that I produced three of them by incorporating vinyl records and turntables, which reflects my interests in analog technology. Further information on Victorian Optical Toys can be obtained here, here, and here.

The Days of Trains in Zoetrope form, turntables, plastic cylinders, digital inkjets, table, speakers, 2005.

Vinyl-kistoscopes
, vinyl records, fasteners, drawings, antique hand drill, mirror, 2002 and 2006.

Viewer-Activated Self Destruction Machine, MDF, gears, paint, photos, mirrors, 2007.
