i’m rob cohen and i make things

Things that engage. Things that are playful. Things that are sculpture. Things that move. I especially like making things like flipbboks, mutoscopes, phénakistiscopes, and of course, the Zoëtropes.

Before the electronics, came the art. And to test the art, I ended up shooting this frame by frame as I spun the cylinder, stopping every 15° for a photo.
