Description: First, there is video footage of a computer program called “3D Curves” that can create, transform, and rotate a wide variety of different curves, both on graphs and on digital 2D fields. Then, there is a clip of the University of Utah’s “Dynamic Simulation” (1998), which features a set of digital 3D pool balls falling onto a green box; likely to test the physics of these digital objects. Also, there is digitally altered footage of the University of Utah School of Music featuring a ring of piano keys and a lever from a music box, both of which are animated. Finally, there is a video entitled “Fallout Shelter Analysis”, where a narrator from the University of Utah Computer Center provides an explanation of how a 1970 computer functions, how to utilize a fallout shelter creation program, and how designers can utilize computer programs. Throughout the compilation, there are also various animations featuring digital gold objects spinning rotating around different digital spaces.
