Series of eight works created with computer programmer and pioneering computer artist Ken Knowlton. Each film is created using a FORTRAN-based programming language designed by Knowlton, and is a linear sequence of a few minutes combining sound, voice overs and computer-generated text and graphics. The film was output on black and white 35 mm film and then coloured postproduction.
