Charon Brought to Life Via Human-Powered Zoetrope:
Charon was the mythological boatman who ferried the souls of the recently departed across the river Styx to the afterlife. Artist Peter Hudson and 19 others worked for six months to create an interactive version of Charon for Burning Man last year. The “stroboscopic zoetrope” sculpture featured 20 individually cast skeletons that appear to row toward the underworld.
Charon will be brought to life again for Escape From Wonderland in San Bernadino, Oct. 27. Check it out if you dare.
