Optikinetics artworks pt.1

The pictures below are designs made for the Optikinetic projectors. They are printed onto a dia-like acetate and placed in a special round disc-holder. An electrical motor is spinning the discs at various speeds. The next level is mixing image, distance, speed, size and the lenses. You can compare it to a vinyl dj-set. Often the sweat is running down my face…

It’s a small selection of designs I made the last years. The idea is to make ‘families’of discs. With 4 projectors I can cover walls, floor and ceiling; but often I use more machines. The final effects can be seen in many short films in the light works section.
