Duchamp's display of oscillating disks are good inspiration for further slip mats with animated effect. Rather than using frames to create movement, Duchamp's pieces display circles with different centre points. This too serves as a form of optical illusion as the circles move on separate parallaxes as the main disk spins. This is a point of animation for the slip mats I could take forward into my designs. A similar effect would be using spirals.
The clip below is from The Last Airbender. It was recommended to me after I had been looking at the art of spinning animation. The imagery on it provides as good inspiration for a slip mat. The end of the clip shows two fish synchronised swimming in a circle. A simple but effective way of applying animation would be to replicate this and as the turntable spins the fish will too.
