Mesmerizing Animated Spinning Art

Gregory Barsamian's Sculptures Are Like a Zoetrope Come to Life

— March 25, 2013 — Art & Design
There's always something new and unique to do within the sphere of art, and it seems like Gregory Barsamian has found his niche with his spinning art sculptures.

Barsamian's work is rather stunning on its own when seen in static images. The cylindrical nature of the pieces is at once creepy and mesmerizing, with more than a touch of the bizarre. But his work truly comes alive when the pieces are spun at a high speed and hit with a strobe light. At this point, the spinning art takes on a epilepsy inducing animated quality that should seem familiar to anyone who played around with a Zoetrope as a kid.

Barsamian's spinning art is part of 'The Creator's Project,' a global network of artists that combine technology, culture and the arts.
Trend Themes
1. Spinning Art Sculptures - Opportunity to create immersive and dynamic art experiences through the fusion of technology and traditional art forms.
2. Cylindrical Art - Chance to explore the unsettling and captivating aspects of three-dimensional cylindrical art pieces that come to life through motion and light.
3. Dynamic Animated Art - Potential for creating visually stimulating and interactive art installations that evoke childhood nostalgia and embrace technological advancements.
Industry Implications
1. Art Exhibitions - Opportunity for art galleries and museums to showcase innovative and engaging art installations that captivate and surprise visitors.
2. Entertainment Events - Potential for event planners and organizers to incorporate mesmerizing spinning art sculptures as part of visually captivating performances or installations during concerts, festivals, and other live events.
3. Art and Technology Collaborations - Opportunity for artists and technologists to collaborate on projects that merge artistic expression and cutting-edge technology, creating immersive experiences that transcend traditional art forms.
