Flightpath Zoetrope Drums

Export a GPS track from a cross-country flight, slice it into equal angular segments around the route's centroid, 3D-print each segment as a raised spoke on a spinning disc, and photograph the disc under a strobe so the flight path animates like a Victorian zoetrope. The strobe rate maps to a drum-machine tempo, turning the visual loop into a synchronized beat that plays the shape of the flight.
