Tamás Waliczky: Very well made, complex, professional work. One of my favourites. The idea of modern zoetrope isn’t new, but the realization is original and very high level. It combines laterna magica, zoetrope, animation, sound, glasswork into a fascinating installation.
Bryan Chung: It is a creative interpretation of the early cinema devices, such as the praxinoscope, with the combination of the sound making property of the individual glasses functioned as musical instruments. At the moment, the images seem to serve as demonstration show reel similar to the movement studies from Eadweard Muybridge’s. It may be better to elaborate the justification of including those running animals in the displays. Are there any narratives to communicate to the audience through playing with various revolving glasses?
Joseph Cutts: Really strong use of participation in body, water and object. Basic in its outline but thorough in its sophistication. Beautiful in its form and resembles imagery of early filmic content from the late 19th century.
Kingsley Ng: The artist adds a bit of twist and delight to the zoetrope. It would be wonderful to see hundreds of these turning objects in a gallery space at once.
Mizuki Takahashi: The artist successfully updated the primitive technique of moving image / animation with poetic manner. The visual effect generated by the shadow shows the artist’s insightful understanding of the meaning of “animation”.
