    I don't thing artists in the 30's thought in term of installation. Animation was still a relatively new thing in for artists it was mostly about the idea of adding movement to their art in order to creat visual symphonies that would be equivalent of musical symphonies, using colors instead of notes. But the films were screened in regular (although art house, colleges, underground) movie theaters (when they where shown at all).

  • Was the film actually made for an installation? I mean did Mary Ellen Bute think about it or was it an experiment or a new kind of view on her piece of work? At least it looks very interesting.
