For the first time in Europe Marcio Ambrosio presents his playful participatory installation 12i. Inspired by the principle of the zoetrope - a 19th-century device forerunner of cinema - Marcio again combines classic animation techniques with new technologies. He brings us into a magical universe where the participants are invited to record, watch and share their own animations on a sculpture that mixes sound and images.
