Vine + Hand Crank from Social Print Studio on Vimeo.

The trend of making the digital physical seems to be in no danger of slowing down. From projects like Vine Flip – that turns your six-second video clip into a paper flipbook, to GIFpop – that uses lenticular printing to display animated GIFs on a single piece of card, last year was full of ideas that were all about bringing digital creations off the screen and into the real world. Now San Francisco-based, forward-thinking print shop Social Print Studio present the Vinelodeon, a hand powered device that displays a single Vine clip on a small, in-built screen.

By slowing down the video process by adding a physical element to it, Social Print Studio are placing more control, quite literally, in the hands of the viewer. Allowing them to reverse the frames as well as control their speed, the Vineolodeon not only highlights the more tactile aspects of machinery we're losing as we make our digital migration, but it also gives us a chance to appreciate a single clip rather than dismiss it as quickly as we would were it digital.
