Here I got one for you to decrypt: Miles Davis PHARAOH'S DANCE ruclips.net/video/2ZIqcq-OBeM/видео.html

these computer where serious drugs when they where invented in the 1940s

what did you find out?

@@DFox1128 They used some kind of pendulum to write a curve which they then translated into sound. I'd love to figure out how that process was like.

@@FrancLusaite Sounds a bit like "Oramics"; that's what Daphne Oram called her process at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 50s. Basically writing optical waveforms directly on to film and scanning these via a photodiode/resistor.

@ ouuu sounds amazing! ✨

@ ah shit ya I know these! Didn’t know they were drawn onto film!

May be because Disney thinks only about money first and not real Art ?

@@norik9910 and tell me how tf is this art? i love avant-garde but this has no sense at all. the music is cool tho

@@idkkidkk2445 It tries to directly and automatically transform 12 tone music to animation. They developed their own machines, including a pendulum, an optical printer and created the sound through the visuals of the pendulum. Pretty inventive and also charged their ideas with New Age theory from atoms, the Fourth dimension and Yoga teachings. Read a book if you don't understand ;) It's mesmerizing and impressive. You don't have to follow their ideas, but you understand how they found their shapes. Also it HAD an influence on Disney, as he asked people of their circles to do Fantasia. If you don't understand stuff, why don't you transform your energy of rejection into curiosity? There is so cool stuff to learn out there.

nope

why

@Josh Swann I think it fits the animations surprisingly well

Are these animations running under public domain?

I dont´t know who owns the rights. Some of his films are really very hard to get a chance to see, which is a real shame...

His Brother James Whitney's films are even more mindblowing in my opinion.

pretty sure that final audio isn't something mr. whitney would not have added himself

Whitney trained in music as well as photography. He composed soundtracks for several of his films. For others he used composers such as Terry Riley (for "Matrix III"). The music in this video has been added for the documentary.

To me it's 1977 during the disco era.

or maybe this is just a tape recording of the original...?

see above: "These films are visually based on modernist composition theory, the carefully varied permutations of form are manipulated with cut-out masks so that the image photographed is pure direct light shaped, rather than the light reflected from drawings as in traditional animation. "

It was shot on film.... But WE are watching a vhs print

its exceedingly common for common distribution versions of old film works like this to have been transferred to tape in the late 1970s thru the 90s- Umatic if early and betacam if late. these are the result of early "backup" copies. part of this push was also for use in television, as systems had been using reel to reel video formats for years instead of the older film method. this is also a common practice for video early adopter super 8 and slide photo shooters in the 1980s and 1990s while the 2nd wave of film was picking up and super 8 remained a popular film home distribution method, even being edited down. you may see your family movies that were shot on super 8 and then your grandpa or whomever pointed the projector and a camera at the same spot on a wall (or used the fancier transfer equipment available) and put a record on in the background. you see a lot of underground animators and other filmmakers do it too.

@@SnepperStepTV Wow, you brought me back to this video 7 years later with your comment! I'm glad to report that actually a lot of my own art practice now includes that process of transferring between media, specifically inspired by family films recorded on 8mm and super 8, later transferred to a VHS, later digitized. I'm proud to say that I'm very much part of that experimental film scene now. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and informative response! Cheers!!

Some of the spfx demonstrated in this video are like those used in Star Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979. Another example is in a 1970's film: UFO Target Earth

The narrator is not quite correct. The slit-screen technique was also invented by John Whitney Sr. but is not the machine shown. Further, Whitney did not work on "2001"... his idea was basically stolen after he sent Kubrick a demo.

Bob Abel did a lot of that kind of work. He worked with Whitney and helped develop the slit scan technique.

@@circusitch Is all of what's shown here even analog? Whitney's lines were plotted on some IBM workstation as I recall.

@@hfuy8005 From what I know, it was just filmed off of a cathode ray tube, CRT.

+morganfisherart -- I see I am not the only one who thinks this. Considering how Moholy-Nagy worked in a visual medium, having a 240p video showing his work is a real disappointment. It's unfair to the genius of this great man.

Are you talking about a digital computer based on pneumatic-relay-logic, or a fluidic binary system?

I guess so. I read about this kid Horton Billy Mitchusson Patent 3107850 that came up with this digital air computer idea in the 1960's and if you check out the patent, he gave the idea to the world . ( Electronic digital made the idea a non starter even then I suppose.) However if you check the links from the patent everybody was giving the idea a look see. I like the idea that if Babbage had gone this way he could have had the pipe organ guys make his Analytic Engine for him and Lady Ada would have invented COBOL. Now I'm checking around to see if anybody is using Brush Bots to demonstrate Collision Based Computing. The kids have got to dig that!

I built for my pseudo-PhD in ~1971 a bottle filling machine using only fluidic elements (some of which which were self made), where compressed air steered the fluid (=water) and fluidic elements made the digital part (very elemental!).

I know this comment thread is relatively old, but I believe you’re talking about a gas flow computer.

@@ufoengines NYUFO you gotta see the Electric Shoes sketch on snl, I got a playlist of related videos with the same title

Hasn't got absolutely anything to do with photoshop, not even remotely. Both involve "computers" and output images but so does MRI...
