These were weird to me because they didn’t really have a back story and I didn’t understand what they were. I just couldn’t label them, nor could I think intellectually about them. When I was a kid, I thought that the first one was a weird colour test. Also, there was something about the first segment that seemed very Mexican to me (I’m not sure what it is). Disks, rods, spinning flowers, lines moving by themselves, shapes; these films have contributed to my curiosity and love of mathematics.

I remember watching this as a kid. Back when children’s shows were meant to TEACH, not just keep the buggers out of mommy’s hair while she talks on the phone. This piece is a fantastic display of geometric relationships in a way that makes it easy to actually VISUALIZE them.

At least you heard it out of context. I didn’t know anything about his music until I stumbled upon this clip and I remembered the circles…

Philip Glass is the best. I heard him the other day on my local classical music station, and even though I had never before heard the composition that was being aired, I knew it had to be Glass.

i loved watching this when i was little. it was so wierd. i always wondered what was the point?? but it amused me nevertheless. i liked the spectrum. and the spinning flower. being a kid is so wierd. its wierd the way you think and try to understand things like this. when you cant make sense of this stuff you just try to make sense of it on your own. the result is… well i guess it was like a wierd alien color dance to me.

I watched a lot of sesame street when I was little throughout the 90’s. Many of the shows I watched back then still used skits and spots from the 70’s. I can’t say I remember this one though.

It’s been nearly 30 years since I’ve seen this and I remember it instantly… I seriously thought I might have imagined it. The part from 1:24 onwards is so otherworldly. Thanks very much!
