A classic Al Jarnow animated short, “Cubits,” made in 1978, which uses a geometrical shape to make a paper representation of a computer. It plays in a loop in my head. From Donna Shepper in Film Quarterly Library: “‘Cubits’ fuses the use of plastic visual concerns and logic with animation. Every aspect of the animation is measured and systematic. The filmmaker has set up a closed visual system based upon a total visual analysis of the single, simple geometric form, the cube. The music composed especially for ‘Cubits’ by Brenda Murphy, lends a feeling of humor.”
