Imagine a piece depicting carelessly selected areas of a moving image in which the color values within said areas create fields of gravitation and emit particles of a mass proportional to their origin brightness value. These particles leave residual paths through the field of time and the point of view is changed when the moving image changes dramatically.
This piece lasts sixty‐four minutes and forty‐six seconds. The source moving image is from the Disney film, Tron. The film was edited down to only the scenes which take place within computer software.
