This is a recent piece in my series of computational transformations of iconic scenes taken from classic Hollywood films. Forty-one separate shots that have been appropriated and excised from the Hitchcock classic Vertigo are repeated and re-sequenced into a composite sequence of concentric rectangles. Each rectangle appears over the last and grows larger over time. The narrative of the original is all but lost and in its place is a hypnotic and meditative display of forms and sounds.
