This animation is part of a series of animations illustrating installations of machines that make animations; these particular machines make a fine, fine animation derived from the work of Ellsworth Kelly.
This shot is a close-up of the machines that make the animations in the animation. Note the adjustable flaps and wing-nuts-- the machines can be adjusted to accommodate the geometries of a variety of simulated venue.
That rectangular thing along the bottom is the ladder you have to climb to be able to view the machines.
