A piece of art: Eadward Muybridge

 Edward James Muggeridge (what is his birth name) was an english photographer who was pioneer working on the capture of movement. On 1877, the state gaves him a plates assembly of a horse trot, and then he could make a set of continuous images which showed the amazing movement: The horse in motion.


                                      

His most appreciated instrument, which he invented on 1879, was the "zoopraxiscope". The play consists on inssert a plate (at left) over the machine (at right). Then, we have to make roll the plate, because the quickly serial of the images is the thing that gaves the effect of movement, and finally this one is proyected at backside. 

                                      

I think it was an amazing invent, a kind of "art machine". I know this since the last year, by a music video that I found driving on internet (Youtube). When I saw the video, I felt lot of interest by the serial of female subject. I put replay many times, until I get down and read the key name: Eadweard J. Muybridgde. I searched it and found it. Nice. Looking a little bit more, I could know other instrument, the "zootrope". You can search it if you want.

I think that the more that I like about this type of work was the analogous way, what requires more deddication at the moment of make a piece of art.

Here I left the music video that I talked to you. Hope u like it.
