Editing Zoetrope (section)

==Giant Zoetropes==
An 1857 textbook on physics mentioned an early cylindrical stroboscopic installation with moving images that was {{convert|18|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} in diameter and had been exhibited in [[Frankfurt]].

A "Great Zoetrope; or: Wheel of Life", {{convert|50|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} in circumference, with "life-size figures", was installed in the Concert Hall of [[the Crystal Palace]] in London by permission of the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company. The programme featured at least four animations based on strips in their catalogue. The huge cylinder was turned around by a gas engine and was operative at least from late 1867 to spring 1868.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stephenherbert.co.uk/wheelZOETROPEpart2.htm#fn48|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505163443/http://www.stephenherbert.co.uk/wheelZOETROPEpart2.htm#fn48|url-status=usurped|archive-date=May 5, 2014|title=ZOETROPE 2|website=stephenherbert.co.uk}}</ref>

In 2008, Artem Limited, a UK visual effects house, built a 10-meter wide, 10-metric ton zoetrope for Sony, called the [[BRAVIA]]-drome, to promote Sony's [[motion interpolation]] technology. It features 64 images of the Brazilian footballer [[Kaká]]. This has been declared the largest zoetrope in the world by ''[[Guinness World Records]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Murph |first=Darren |url=http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/21/sony-sets-guinness-world-record-with-bravia-drome |title=Sony sets Guinness World Record with BRAVIA-drome |publisher=Engadgethd.com |date=December 21, 2008 |access-date=July 29, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Sony Creates World's Largest Zoetrope |work=PopSci.com.au |date=February 18, 2009 |url=http://www.popsci.com.au/entertainment-amp-gaming/article/2009-02/sony-creates-world%E2%80%99s-largest-zoetrope |access-date=February 18, 2009}}</ref>

In 2014, Brazilian graffiti-street art duo [[OSGEMEOS]] made a large piece called “Untitled (Zoetrope)” featuring their characteristic yellow characters, with an accompanying animation of the zoetrope in motion. It is part of the ''OSGEMEOS: Endless Story'' exhibition at the [[Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden]] (2024-2025).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024 |title=OSGEMEOS on Zoetrope |url=https://hirshhorn.si.edu/explore/osgemeos-video-tour/zoetrope/ |access-date=5 January 2025 |website=Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden}}</ref>
