Looped
steel zoetrope with machine knit animation strip
19" diameter, 10" tall
2008 - 2009
In this piece, a zoetrope shows the motion of two hands knitting. The inner strip of animated drawings is made of cloth constructed on a computerized knitting machine where each pixel becomes a stitch. When spun and viewed through the slits, viewers see the circular movement of hands looping knit stitches.
