Visualising motion

Can something so invisible and immaterial take form and appear before our eyes? Techniques like motion capture originating from Chronophotography (E.-J.Marey, E.Muybridge) show the way to capturing the beauty and dynamics of motion with beautiful visualizations that can even give a three-dimensional form to what the eye can't catch. Various explorations have been made not only with motion capture but also with time lapse photography and video.
