Blinkity Blank (1955)

Before our very eyes, the vibrant and colourful juxtaposition of composer Maurice Blackburn's experimental jazz with animator Norman McLaren's whimsical and erratic animation of abstract forms unfolds. As a result, trees, birds and fruits combined with vivid intermittent shapes of dots and lines, comprise a riotous imagery that haunts human vision, creating a fleeting optical phantasmagoria.
