The zoetrope (or its real name, the phenakistoscope) is an analogue animation technique originating in early 1800’s, created by Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau and Austrian professor of practical geometry, Simon Stampfer. Its effectiveness as an animation is a result of the intervention of movement (rotation) plus some degree of light (either a flashing strobe light or through slits in the disc), tricking your brain into interpreting the frames as a seamless moving image. Early phenakistoscopes are regarded as the first devices to create a fluid illusion of motion, the widespread use of which paved the way for the future of motion picture and cinema.
In the digital age, where moving image can be captured with cameras or created with digital software, applications of the modern zoetrope have found their place primarily in the music industry, as a way of animating traditional vinyl records- or enjoyed in the art world as fine art/design pieces. An appropriate app can be uploaded to a smartphone or tablet device and the zoetrope effect can then be seen through the screen of your device.
The album concerns the final voyage of America’s pioneering female “aviatrix” Amelia Earhart. In 1922, aged just 25, Earhart flew higher than any woman before her, and in the years that followed she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, setting multiple speed and distance records. In 1937 she announced that she would circumnavigate the globe in her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra aircraft. She crossed the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. She left Papua New Guinea to fly to Howland Island in the Central Pacific but never made it, instead ascending to the level of myth reserved for the bravest adventurers.
