How fast and boring the world would be without it…
Imagine sport tv broadcastings, scientific documentary films, love tragedies and action movies without the superbe experience multiplier technique… slow motion.
The slow motion technology was invented in Graz by the Styrian pastor and physicist August Musger. He was a passionate cineast and invented a motion technique using a mirrored drum as a synchronizing mechanism. The technique was patented in 1904 and was presented in Graz on July 7, 1907 for the first time.
Graz and Styria is well know for its coziness – so it is a logic consequence that this technique was invented here…

although graz is also know as “pensionopolis” there are still some children living here. maybe one of them is currently very sad… i was passing the biochemical institute of the technical university on my way home. it was a cold, rainy and dark evening. suddenly i spotted a bambi sitting on the cold and wet concrete. it smiled at me and i couldn’t help but taking it home with me to a warm place where the poor bambi could rest. but… huh… what is it and to whom does it belong?

owner! if you want back your…
a) part of a biochemical experiment spreading mutat viruses?
b) bomb?
c) surveillance device? (i will check the eyes…)
d) freudian manifestation?
e) piece of art?
…please comment!
