Carol and Bruno – working collectively as TROPE – met at Goldsmiths in 2011. They invented the Diasynchronoscope, and have since produced a number of exploratory artworks by animating concrete objects through selective attention using projection mapping. They work from a studio based in South-East London.
Artist and researcher Carol MacGillivray comes from a background of animation and film editing and spent 20 years working across documentary‚ drama‚ music videos‚ and commercials. She taught film at the Royal College of Art and became a senior lecturer in animation at the University of West London. An increased interest in combining theoretical research and practice led Carol to undertake a PhD by practice in Arts and Computational Technology at Goldsmiths. Her PhD thesis Choreographing Time: Developing a system of Screen-less Animation researched the grammar of the Diasynchronoscope as a new medium.
