    I think I would have been pretty mesmerized by this as a child. Hey, I’m pretty mesmerized now. There’s a portion of the subway tunnel in NYC (on the Q line, near the Dekalb stop for any New Yorkers out there) that has a similar thing set up with shapes painted on a wall behind a slatted barrier – when you go through not too slow and not too fast, its very cool. I ride that line all the time, but only recently noticed it – I’m not sure if its new or if I was just never looking the right way at the right moment before.

    This is a cool little experiment!
    The piece along the Q train is Bill Brand’s Masstransiscope. It was made in the 80s and only recently restored.

    Apparently he was more inspired by the zoetrope, though the principles of scanimation seem to work really similarly.
