This short experimental animation tempts the eye with gradually unfolding yet increasingly complex movement, colour and sound. Reminiscent of the mid-20th-century style of “op art,” McLaren and Lambart’s film follows a single tiny square as it divides and multiplies, eventually forming a colourful, hypnotic mosaic set to the animators’ precise and deliberate musical orchestration.
Most of his work was done by scratching designs directly on to film.
Ol’ McLaren was ahead of his time, that’s for sure.
i can’t imagine creating the program to do something like that. it looks like a precursor to Pong. I remember the first time I saw someone playing pong and how amazing it was.
