This is a short animation that I did on the pin screen built by Alexandre Alexeieff in Cambridge, MA while he and Clare Parker came to the U.S. to escape the Nazi occupation of Paris during WWII. This pin screen was left behind for his daughter Svetlana when he returned to Paris after the war. Svetlana let me experiment with it in 1983-84 at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University where I was teaching at the time. This is presented to honor the legacy of Jules Engel, the first animation program head at Cal Arts.
