Way back in 1894 , an discoverer named Herman Casler started a commercial enterprise makingMutoscopes , a newfangled gadget that animated still images using a bridge player - cranked winch . Casler in all probability never imagined that a interpretation of his equipment would be used to animate digital file . Behold : The Giphoscope .
Italian design studio Officina K dusted off and rethought Casler ’s conception before this twelvemonth . At its pith , the Giphoscope is still basically the same gadget : An aluminium doughnut that curb several hundred still photos , which can be ranked in a rotation using a little handle . Only in this case , the image themselves are derived from GIFs , rather than former photographs .
There are two ways to get your grimy manus on one of these thing : you could say one from Officina K’scollection(Public Domain Review also has some funMuybridge and Edisonones for sale ) , or you could commission them to make one based on a GIF you furnish yourself .
The only bummer is that they are — predictably — very expensive , since they ’re being marketed as one - of - a - sort art aim . But , if you ’re ready to hand , admission to a cheap printing machine and an old rolodex would probably do in a pinch . [ The Giphoscopevia@nicolatwilley ]
