Vinyl Blade: The Vinyl Arena

Artist Statement:
For this project we went through numerous ideas, from zoetropes, to walking sequences, and later on to a race track. After some thinking, someone came up with the idea to use BeyBlades, an anime series that aired in early 2000's, as a form of making the noise. At first we were set on the use of race cars, but we didn't know how to have it make the same sounds as "Vinyl Rally" by Lucas Abela. Not only that, but we were very short on money.

At one point we came up with a very detailed story about the BeyBlades and decided that it's better to stick with their intended purpose. Two kinetic objects that are no longer used. After some thinking into past technology, a lot of the equipment we used spun, and we would watch it spin. Now in this day and age, everything is hidden and we don't realize that things are still running in circles.
