1979 · 2 min

A hypnotic, minimal experiment where a single rotating line flickers and dissolves, rewarding close attention with quiet, abstract unease.

Overview
A single solid white line rotates 180 degrees, beginning at a vertical position in the middle of the screen. At first, it forms “stair-steps,” and then, approaching horizontality, it intermittently breaks up, literally between the (scan) lines. Continuing, the line reconstitutes itself as it reaches its initial vertical position.
