The film works by Lillian F. Schwartz (Cincinnati, USA, 1927) represent an essential basis for the development of abstract research in digital animation. They feed off the exchanges held in the renowned Bell Laboratories, in New Jersey, conducted with scientists and engineers convinced of the possibility of creating innovative applications of new technologies in different fields. In the early Seventies, immaterial visual compositions were born, intertwining heterogeneous elements such as the aseptic representation of black and white patterns created by informatic codes, the free movement of hand-colored animations, and audio tracks generated by computers.
