Zoetropes were a very popular toy in the 19th century . They were a device that enabled the simulation of movement, a mechanical precursor to films. The same concept applies in the installation by students from the IUC’s Barcelona School of Architecture. Visitors come to a big projection screen with a series of moving pictures. This is merely the start. They continue their tour, but with a request to take out their mobiles and put them in torch mode. The path of discovery continues to the other side of the screen. A revelation awaits them on the other side: there they will be invited to use their mobiles to operate a series of zoetropes providing the moving pictures to be seen by the next set of people standing in front of the screen, as a successive cinematographic narrative. And there is a message too: to reflect on the consequences that our actions have on our successor, in any sense we can imagine, also in apparently unimportant gestures.
