>> Stan Vanderbeek and Ken Knowlton, "Poemfield"

„All of the Poemfield films explore variations of poems, computer graphics, and in some cases combine live action images and animation collage; all are geometric and fast moving and in colour. As samples of the art of the future all the films explore variations of abstract geometric forms and words. In effect these works could be compared to the illuminated manuscripts of an earlier age. Now typography and design are created at speeds of 100.000 decisions per second, set in motion a step away from mental movies.“ (Stan vanderbeek)

The video you see here is Poemfield #2 (out of a series of 7 films, starting from 1966)
