AUTOSCOPE Pre-Cinema Apparatus, 2005 The Autoscope is an early prefilm media device/installation (it even predates the zoetrope). It is an updated version of the phenakistoscope which was invented by Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau in 1832. Traditionally these devices are handheld toys that have about 8 frames. The Autoscope was built with 72 frames. To accommodate the fact it had to be shown in a Calgary +15 window, I motorized the devices and put a foot pedal on the outside for the viewer to operate. This pices was made for “Tunnel Vision”, a performative component of the 2005 Calgary Animated Object Society Festival |
