i wrote a new javascript engine for the dbCinema slideshows. this one has
fade in/out and speed controls to adjust the display time and fade time.
so what you see in this is not dbCinema itself, unlike London Hypotrochoid,
but a slideshow of screenshots made with dbCinema.
it's sort of like seeing a movie condensed to a few screenshots.
but not, since the fade in/out of the screenshots is quite slow and
highlights the continuity, when there is continuity.
the progression is quite different, in any case, from London Hypotrochoid.
'And so at different points along the road are the different arts, saying
what they are best able to say, and in the language which is peculiarly
their own. Despite, or perhaps thanks to, the differences between them,
there has never been a time when the arts approached each other more nearly
than they do today, in this later phase of spiritual development.
In each manifestation is the seed of a striving towards the abstract, the
non-material. Consciously or unconsciously they are obeying Socrates'
command-Know thyself. Consciously or unconsciously artists are studying and
proving their material, setting in the balance the spiritual value of those
elements, with which it is their several privilege to work.
And the natural result of this striving is that the various arts are drawing
together. They are finding in Music the best teacher. With few exceptions
music has been for some centuries the art which has devoted itself not to
the reproduction of natural phenomena, but rather to the expression of the
artist's soul, in musical sound.
A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however
artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease
with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this
end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art. And
from this results that modern desire for rhythm in painting, for
mathematical, abstract construction, for repeated notes of colour, for
setting colour in motion.
This borrowing of method by one art from another, can only be truly
successful when the application of the borrowed methods is not superficial
but fundamental....'
