What Inspired You to Make This?

It started as an idea for a Christmas gift for my dad. The original concept was a POV-spinning record that would have displayed his YouTube channel name and logo, but that project got shelved. Then recently my wife and I were going through a modern art gallery, and the idea hit me again that art should be interactive. So, I brought it back in a different light which is what I will present here.
