Digital Zoetrope is spinning poetry device that displays, one after another, text-based narratives of 5 individuals living in the city that functions as a collective network of relations yet in which their lifes seem to coincide, but never intersect. Troika’s zoetrope starts from an abstract pattern that magically starts to form these texts when it is lit and set in motion; and deconstructed letters and texts show how disparate elements perceived at different speeds come together to form a whole.
Exhibition history:
The Digital Zoetrope is commissioned by onedotzero, and subsequently has been exhibited at the V&A, London.
