Making us of the fact that the eye retains an image for a fraction of a second after it diappeared, he built a motorized machine, &#8216;Rotary Glass Plates (Precision Optics)&#8217;. Segments of a circle were painted on five glass plates mounted on an electrically operated metal axis. Rubber strips connected the axis to the motor. The experiment was no success.<\/p>\n<p>Three years later, Duchamp tried this experiment again, now using a turntable of a record player. He made a series of &#8216;Disks Bearing Spirals&#8217; (1923) mounted on cardboard. This anticipated the spiral theme that would later appear in &#8216;Rotary Demisphere&#8217; (Precision Optics, 1925) and in the film &#8216;An\u00e9mic Cin\u00e9ma&#8217; (1925-1926). The revolving disks produced a three-dimensional effect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source :\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dada-companion.com\/duchamp\/films.php\">http:\/\/www.dada-companion.com\/duchamp\/films.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86,"featured_media":14412,"template":"","artist":[262],"streams":[2],"keywords":[2110,3092,4353,4352,4354],"decade":[],"media":[],"class_list":["post-935","artwork","type-artwork","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artist-marcel-duchamp","streams-motion-duration-illumination","keywords-glass","keywords-marcel-duchamp","keywords-plates","keywords-rotary","keywords-rotary-glass-plates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artwork"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/86"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14411,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/935\/revisions\/14411"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=935"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=935"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=935"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=935"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
