3d-printed Zoetrope Sculptures by John Edmark

"These are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronised to the strobe so that one flash occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5ºâ€”the golden angle. If you count the number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always Fibonacci numbers" says John Edmark about the body of his work
