Original zoetrope discs and audiovisual work by Sculpture for the Electronic expo at Design Museum, London 2020. These are discs we used in early live sets, dating from c2010. They were made by glueing photographic prints to old vinyl records. These days, as we use many images during each show, we don’t stick them to a heavy lump of plastic. Reuben Sutherland has probably made around 1000 zoetrope designs, many lost for good in chaos, though we try to keep some kind of archive. The designs are intended to be filmed with a video camera, shooting at 25 fps with a very fast shutter, suspended above the disc which usually rotates at 45 RPM. Some designs are intended to be rotated at different speeds and sometimes a single design contains elements that work at a variety of speeds.

The exhibition first opened at Paris Philharmonie in 2019.
