Psychedelic computer-animated film to music by Terry Riley and Padre Antonio Soler, extract from Rainbow in Curved Air.
John Whitney was a pioneer in techno-logical art, kineticism and motion graphics. In the 1940s, he made a series of abstract films with his brother James Whitney. In 1960, John founded Motion Graphics Inc. and produced title sequences for television and film. Six years later, he received a three-year grant from IBM, with which he made Permutations using a digital computer. John created some of the first techniques in motion control of camera, zoom and artwork, which paved the way for the development of the star gate slit-scan sequences in the films 2001: a Space Odyssey and Star Wars.

Matrix III consists of a group of triangles, squares and hexagon. All of the forms are moving within an invisible matrix. The total impression of the film is of a mathematical precision that provokes tension between all the moving parts.
