SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY WONDER
Bring awe and presence into the center of your life with Slow Dance. Create an environment that nurtures a rich inner life for you and your loved ones.
When my close friend Eric was marrying Emily, I wanted to give them a truly unique gift. Both dancers, they inspired me to create something where opposites danced together.
I had been experimenting with high-speed stroboscopy to make movement appear in slow motion, but nothing I designed had the wow factor I was hoping for. Frustrated, I took a walk to clear my mind — and then it happened. A pine branch hit me in the face. In that moment, I realized that nature had already perfected beauty. Branches, flowers, feathers — all evolved to move in stunning ways I could never replicate.
That's when the idea for Slow Dance was born: using nature's designs to create impossible, mesmerizing slow-motion movement."
— Jeff Lieberman, Inventor of Slow Dance
1. How loud is it? Is it safe to touch?
Incredibly quiet. The loudest thing is the object itself moving through the air, and the magnets can be adjusted to change the 'volume' of movement, so if you make the movement very large, it will create more noise. We can't hear a feather from 10 feet away in a quiet room. For the techies out there, we estimate it's around 30dB.
And yes! Please touch it! If you touch the objects you will feel the secret that your eyes cannot see - that they are vibrating very quickly (80 times back and forth every second). It's a fun way to discover the illusion. The electromagnet is totally safe to touch as it is all at very low voltage and strength. It's fun for all ages.
2. Is the strobe light blinking safe for those with photosensitive epilepsy?
We are almost certain about this, but make no medical guarantees. Epilepsy.com describes most of these being caused at 5-30 flashes per second, where your eyes can register the flashing. This runs at roughly 80 flashes per second, and you can't see the flashing unless you wave your hand in front of it or shake your head fast. If you have any history of photosensitive epilepsy, please consult your doctor before using Slow Dance.
3. Does this work when it's under bright light (daylight or otherwise)?
Given that the effect is based on strobe lights embedded in the frame, when there is sufficient ambient light (like sunlight), the effect is greatly weakened. With the included brightness control on full, we've found it works for most indoor environments (even a few feet from the window), but when it's up against the window or outside in daylight, the effect is harder to notice.
4. What kinds of things can I put into Slow Dance?
Since the slow motion effect depends on vibrating objects very quickly, light objects that vibrate repeatedly work the best. So far I've found the best things are feathers, plants, and flowers. That said, I've also seen custom origami, bent wire, even googly eyes(!) in the mix, and look forward to many more surprises!
I think it's useful to think of Slow Dance like a vase — you don't expect the things in it to last forever, but you intend to highlight their temporary existence. I've found feathers work indefinitely, plants depend greatly on the type (some dry out and get brittle, others seem to work for weeks), and most flowers last for the day, if that.
