White Light / White Heat

In the beginning there is a self-contained bundle of light against a black background. At the edges of human perception, the laser beam starts to flicker and glow, at first barely noticeably. Then it spreads, drawing circles and waves. A reductionist play of movement unfolds, letting the light oscillate. Algorithmically generated images and computer-generated sounds create a black-and-white flickering aesthetic, strictly geometrical.
