Cubits (1978)
Jarnow adapts an architectural grid catalogue of cubic rotations in order to explore a direct relationship between animation procedure and logical numerical operations. The film is as much the making of animation as it is a paper model of a computer.

Combinations of these primary moves result in more complex rotations throughout this awe inspiring film.
