"Whenever we displayed our art, we were inundated with people requesting a kit version. In October 2012 we made it a reality. Teaming up with inventor / product designer Steven Goldstein, we created FlipBooKit.

Packaged as an affordable DIY kit, FlipBooKit allows anyone to make either a manual or motorized flip book from a video or set of photos, creating a one-of-a-kind tactile kinetic art piece.

Purchase your own kit at flipbookit.com
