The latest version of the laser zoopraxiscope is ready for FLIGHT TESTS. With sinusoidal gears to minimise slack and a new 2.5W 532nm chinese laser, this is our best chance of projecting a visible image on the clouds. Constructed with the generous support of Oomlout. Tests at Temple Works (once the largest indoor space in the world) were encouraging. Muybridge’s horse rendered in lurid Nd:YAG second harmonic green, the worlds first laser zoopraxiscope in action!

Watch this space for footage of the first flight tests..

Superposition exists to encourage collaboration. These projects are all a result of the existence of superposition. Some are complete and have been publicly exhibited, others are works in progress. Browse through the blog posts in this section to see what we've already achieved and where the superposition is going next. If you have anything to suggest or contribute to any of the projects we'd love to hear from you. Send us email, join the forum or better still come to a pub meeting...
