Embroidered Zoetrope

This project encourages viewers to watch and engage with animation physically. It is an interactive installation combining textiles, turntables and an obsolete animation format to create inherently tactile moving images.

I created a series of material discs with animated sequences embroidered onto their surface. They are designed to be played on standard turntables and their shape and size is inherited from 10" vinyl records.

The animation is activated when a strobe light illuminates the discs in sync with the embroidered frames of animation.
