Roto-Riso is a modular kinetic installation inspired by Duchamp’s Rotoreliefs and Op Art, reimagined through contemporary media practices. The project is an exploration of motion, illusion, and cultural patterns through RISO-printed spinning discs. With adjustable speed, direction, and swappable parts, Roto-Riso is an interactive and participatory experience designed for first-year students. It merges art history, design, kinetic imaging, and printmaking in an interdisciplinary introduction to time-based media.
