For my last film in this series, I’m posting this incredible excerpt from one of Ian Cheng’s live simulations of infinite duration. Using the same tools that are used to create video games, Cheng populates his CGI environments with characters that have their own agency, but can’t quite figure out what they are supposed to do with it.

WARNING: NSFW!!!
This psychedelic classic is one of the strongest examples of animation’s unique ability to turn psychological and emotional abstractions into actual bodies.
