Matrix III (1972)
This video is amazing! Its awesome how something so simple such as multiple shapes in a certain pattern can create such a visually stimulating experience. And to think this was created in 1972!! I myself am a fan of art like this, i always have the visualizer up on Winamp!



Catalog (1961)

This piece i find a bit more visually stimulating. This is truely the kind of art where you should'nt try to reverse engineer and just enjoy it for what it is. Press play, and enjoy the show! Although I would love to know how this type of work was done back in 1961.
