Artist Research: Ken Jacobs

Ken jacobs-
Exciting flickering loops that capture crumbs and snippets of time and space which combine into movement. Originally used magic lanterns & Projectors but then moved onto digital format. He lives in New York and is in his mid 80s. Greg is Mates with Ken and his wife... apparently!

They're like projected viewmaster slides combined using time rather than 3D anaglyph or polarisation.
They are also impressively easy to make- Just take two photos slightly spaced apart, using 1 or 2 cameras. I am considering using this technique in my project.
