Slow Dance by Wonder Machine

"Slow Dance” is a picture frame that makes real objects appear to move in slow motion. By taking advantage of the limits of human visual perception, this optical illusion sculpture appears to be doing the impossible — right before your eyes. Slow Dance combines technology, science, and art, in order to remind us of the natural mystery, beauty, and wonder that surround us every day.

Slow Dance frames come with:

• Two feathers 

• US + European compatible power adapter

• Wall mounting hook

• Optional feet for stability

USING SCIENCE TO CREATE MAGIC!

Slow Dance combines high speed strobe lights with high-speed vibrations, creating a stunning visual illusion.

With strobe lights blinking 80 times a second, your eyes cannot even see that they are blinking - the light looks continuous.

By synchronising the strobes to the vibration of objects (created with the magnets and central electromagnet), we create the visual illusion of those objects moving in slow motion.
