Our collection

Turns everyday objects into slow motion sculptures

" I can't get over how beautiful everything is... the packaging, the frame, the coil... It's a real work of art. And once we turned it on, our jaws dropped. We've mystified many friends with your creation."

AN optical illusion sculpture

A canvas to play, experiment & discover

MAKE OBJECTS MOVE IN SLOW MOTION

BEYOND YOUR PERCEPTION

“Slow dance” is the first creation of Wonder Machines - A picture frame that makes real objects appear to move in slow motion. By taking advantage of the limits of human visual perception, this optical illusion sculpture appears to be doing the impossible — right before your eyes. Slow Dance combines technology, science, and art, in order to remind us of the natural mystery, beauty, and wonder that surround us every day.

YOU SHOULDN'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES

An ongoing experiment in wonder

Play and experiment! YOU bring the objects to Slow Dance — it is a blank canvas for you to compose. From weeds on the street to flowers in the garden to bird feathers, each object will reveal a new slow motion world. After two years of playing with it ourselves, we are still enchanted when we try out a new object — the world it reveals seems to be never-ending. It will change how you will see plants and other objects forever. Different modes allow you to cycle through different dance patterns, some slow and smooth, and others that make the object appear to jump through space!
