Eric Dyer

Eric Dyer has resurrected the zoetrope, a pre-cinema optical toy, and is using it to create and explore a visual language of loops and spirals. When spun, the complex circular sculptures, dubbed cinetropes, are a blur to the human eye but come to full animated life when viewed through shutter glasses or the lens of a fast-shutter video camera. Dyer’s projects are exhibited as both films and installations.
