I spent part of the holiday this past Christmas in a machine shop building the rotor and housing for the telescope. The above diagram shows what I’m building. It is red and green completely by coincidence. The rotor is a very thin, 14″ diameter aluminum wheel with a small window to let light through. Essentially [...]

I have been stunned by how beautiful these flickering cityscapes are. When I started this project, I imagined that the lights would turn off all at once to reveal darkened, apocalyptic streets. Instead I have seen lights dancing in mesmerizing rhythms, as pedestrians walk by unaware. In recent months, I have assembled a new short [...]

There’s a long way still to go!
The telescope will reveal the flickering LIVE in New York City this summer! But we’re not there yet. Here’s what it can do so far…

Streetlights are flashing, buildings are going dark. All of this happens faster than we can see, 120 times every second. 60Hz Telescope allows us to [...]

New films are now playing on YouTube and Vimeo. One shows flickering shot in Europe this winter. Maybe because Europe’s flickering is a little slower (it’s only 50Hz over there), or maybe because of the beautiful scenery these are some of the most striking examples of flickering I’ve been able to capture. Make sure you [...]
See our first film!
