Rubaiyat

About This Movie

So, 'Rubaiyat' from 1983 is an interesting piece, really. It's all about this computer project that dives deep into John Whitney's digital harmony theory. The atmosphere is quite unique, blending that early 80s avant-garde vibe with experimental visuals. It’s almost like you’re peeking into the future of digital art, but it’s rooted in a philosophical exploration of beauty and sound. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which might throw some viewers off. But there’s a certain charm in its simplicity and the way it uses practical effects to visualize abstract concepts. It’s definitely a film that challenges the viewer, making you think about the intersection of technology and art.
