Clip of the Week
"Aleph" (2002) by Bill Alves
Watch a clip from Bill Alves' "Aleph" (2004), inspired largely by the geometric patterns of Islamic art, an art derived from the same proportions and numerical symbolism as the tuning systems of the ancient Greeks and Byzantines.
"Aleph" can be found on Visual Music from iota, available from the iotaStore.

Site of the Week
The Museum of Jurassic Technology
Nestled right near iotaCenter's Library and Study Center in Culver City, CA, The Museum of Jurassic Technology is an institution dedicated to preserving relics and artifacts from the Lower Jurassic, with an emphasis on those that demonstrate unusual or curious technological qualities with a flavor of "incongruity born of the overzealous spirit in the face of unfathomable phenomena."
Become an iotaCenter Member today and bid on a ticket to a private screening of experimental film rarities curated by Academy Archivist Mark Toscano held at the Museum of Jurassic Technology.

from Symphonie Diagonale (1921)
| Artist of the Week
Viking Eggeling
1880(Lund, Sweden)-1925
Swedish painter Viking Eggeling lived in Paris from 1911 to 1915, where it is likely he became aware of Léopold Survage's attempt to animate a series of paintings. In 1917, Eggeling settled in Zurich, the center of the emerging Dada movement, and met Hans Richter. They began collaborating and moved to Germany in 1919. Eggeling labored for three years on an unfinished animated film HORIZONTAL VERTICAL ORCHESTRA. After that he created SYMPHONIE DIAGONALE (DIAGONAL SYMPHONY), which was screened in 1925. Eggeling was too ill to attend the premiere and died six days later of septic angina.
