I first saw a mutoscope in Disney World, they had a big room filled with these beautifully painted, ornate cast iron things. I stepped up to one with Charlie Chaplin, grabbed the handle and started to crank. There he was running around a kitchen causing mayhem. I was amazed that spinning a bunch of still images created a movie that was powered by me.
Since then, I've created a different kind of Mutoscope. I designed it to showcase the wheel of images as the beautiful object that it is. And when you interact with it, give it a a little spin, it comes to life. An animated sculpture.
