You are looking at some of the earliest examples of moving picture shows ever devised. They were displayed on spinning devices called "zoe-tropes," popular at the close of the 19th
Century.

You are viewing the animations on a somewhat more sophisticated device of growing popularity at the close of the 20th Century.

Surely the current state of our own technology will look as primitive to us a hundred years from now as that of one hundred years ago looks to us today.

Think about that.

These animations are from 19th Century zoetrope strips in the collection of The Oakland Museum, Oakland, CA. These and others, along with 72-frame kinetoscope films, copious digitized graphics, audio, and dynamically linked text, will appear as "Moving Pictures: From the Magic Lantern to HyperCard," to be offered this spring from the Acme Dot Company.
