Abstract in Englisch:
The ZoOHPraxiscope combines the overhead projector with a spinning picture-disc and it works similar to the Zoopraxiscope. The Zoopraxiscope is a historical device that was invented by Eadweard Muybridge to animate sequences of pictures. The ZoOHPraxiscope allows to combine direct animation and shadow play with cinematographic animation. Using custom made electronics to control both ficker frequency and rotation speed of picture-discs, it is possible to play with various regimes of animation. As motion and light ficker are directly coupled to sound, the device is also a performance instrument for audio visual performances.
