Straight lines, curved worlds
Two layers of straight cuts turn against each other. Where they overlap, your brain sees curves, waves and spirals that are not there – the moiré effect.
Models & experiments · Motionlab Berlin
Only one motor.
Endless movement.
Every stage and installation starts as a small model on the workbench. Here are the experiments – small machines that play with your eyes.
How the magic works
One motor, many movements
Planetary gears pass one rotation on to many discs at different speeds and directions. Simple mechanics, endlessly changing images.
Try it yourself
Magic is the edge
of physics.
Between what our brain can still grasp and what it can no longer grasp – that is where magic happens.
