Len Lye, Oskar Fischinger, Hans Richter, Walter Ruttmann, etc. Do these names make your eyes and ears light up as they do mine?

I'm just starting to learn about them and am slowly amassing a collection of their works through the usual (digital) channels. Lye has made some terrific psychedelic samba films, but that one about inflation depresses me. Ruttmann's are beautiful in their angularity. And I love love love everything Fischinger has ever touched.

Anyone want to give a shout out?

Yep, I'm with you. I wish more of this stuff were available on DVD though some films I've seen wouldn't really work on a small screen. John & James Whitney are my personal faves. I also have to give a shout out to Harry Smith. So what do you mean by the usual digital channels? Are any good DVDs available? Are you downloading stuff online?

The building contained his archive relating to his Mobilcolor work, and his last Mobilcolor Projector. There's some papers and diagrams at the Guggenheim NY's archive, and all of his Mobilcolor films and related papers are held elsewhere, but still
