3D printing has opened the door for artists to create kinetic works. Project Flux<\/a>, a collaboration of 3 students from Germany used 3D printing to create a physical object that choreographs spinning and light to create the impression of animation.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Bloom<\/a>, a series of 3D printed objects (printed at Shapeways) that use the Fibonacci sequence and carefully filmed motion to create the sensation of movement, Flux takes this concept a step further by using a strobe light that beats at just the right frequency, allowing the animated effect to be seen with the bare eye rather than requiring a camera’s shutter speed to create the illusion of movement.<\/p>\n
