unbroken pieces
Images from unbroken pieces, my master's thesis project (1996). An absolute animation, unbroken pieces combines amorphous and polygonal visual elements, and works with compositional and temporal rhythms. The theme of the piece is the relationship and ambiguity between unity and disjunction.

(Quicktime Disclaimer - all dashed lines, jaggies, blotchies in the video, and any funny
stuff in the audio is the result of compression and small image
size necessary to make web-friendly Quicktimes. The piece really
looks a lot better in person.)
You should set your monitor for "thousands" or "millions" of colors
to view these Quicktimes, or they will look lousy. (They are 24-bit color.)
