| Made in 1977 by husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames, I first saw this film about three years ago when artist Keith Tyson gave a lecture at the Tate Modern. It was the very first thing he put on and he explained how influential it had been on his work. | I find it fascinating how the film illustrates the self-similarity of the universe as it alternates between tiny densely packed spaces to vast sparse vacuums. It makes you realise the sheer complexity of organisms like ourselves and how any point of view is just relative to your position. |
