Oskar Fischinger





These 2 videos were very similar as far as the shapes being used but at the same time were very different in how Oskar used the shapes. Optical poem was more formatted in the sense that when the beat of the song hit different shapes popped up or appeared but Oskars early abstractions video was far more visually interesting because I didn’t really see a particular pattern. It was far more abstract and trippy. I felt as if I was in a trance while watching early abstractions.
