PROJECTS > TATE MODERN BICYCLE ZOETROPES

As part of Tate Modern’s Undercurrent: Young People’s Programme, we worked with artist Jacqueline Passmore to develop bicycle powered Zoetropes and projection installations within The Tanks. The project invited participants to generate electricity through pedalling, transforming physical effort into moving image and projection inside one of London’s most experimental cultural spaces.
