Art of RetroCollage takes great pleasure in announcing the opening of our sister website, Phantasistoscope.
Phantasistoscope is a website devoted to the beauty of the moving image, that rapidly unrolling collage of kinetic visual impressions. Phantasistoscope takes its inspiration from optical illusions, early explorations of moving images, and the optical inventions that arose from them: the phenakistoscope, zoetrope, praxinoscope, phantasmagoria, thaumatrope, mutoscope, flip book, kinetoscope, and cinematograph. Phantasistoscope aims to recapture that time of magic movement and bring it forward to the present day, by presenting some of the best animated and other short films of the early period, and serving as a showcase for new creative animation and shorts.
