Lifetiles
`Years ago, a fascination with antique optical toys led Rufus Butler Seder to wonder if he could create motion pictures on a grand scale using no electricity, moving parts, or special lighting. After some experiment he developed an 8″ square, lens-ribbed glass tile that was to form the building block for his dream come true. He called it a LIFETILE.
LIFETILES enable Rufus to create “Movies for the Wall”: optical glass-tiled murals that appear to come to life, move, and change when the viewer walks or rides by. The medium is durable, maintenance-free, and lends itself to almost any subject or location, outdoors or in. Since 1990 Rufus has created scores of sizeable works for museums, aquariums and other public places around the world.’
