Bird Flipbook Machines by Juan Fontanive

Onithology. Collage on asuka and watercolor paper, stainless steel, motor and electronics. 2013.

Colibri. Graphite and colored pencil on paper, stainless steel, delrin, motor, electronics. 2011.

Violetear. Acrylic and graphite on paper, stainless steel, delrin, aluminum, motor and electronics. 2011.

Since graduating from the Royal College of Art, artist Juan Fontanive has been exploring moving images and kinetic sculptures. My favorite of his lastest works are these three flipbook machines using drawings, acrylic paintings, and collages of birds. Two of the original machines above, Ornithology and Colibri are currently available through the New Museum.
