Calypso's Cloak (1986)
Overview
The filmmaker courts the muse of computer art. At the gods' demand Calypso grants Odysseus freedom, but gives a cloak designed to drown. The melodic constriction of Schubert's "Das Wandern" paces an emerging imposition of grid upon randomness. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2013.
