Diagonal Symphony

In 'Diagonal Symphony', a mesmerizing exercise in abstract animation, Viking Eggeling's magnum opus materializes as a perpetually evolving, stylized entity. Commencing as a tilted figure comprising predominantly right angles, the design incrementally expands through the accretion of brief, linear segments and curvaceous appendages. This Art Deco-esque motif, redolent of disparate objects - an ear, harp, panpipes, or grand piano with trombones - flashes into existence, only to vanish, making way for a novel pattern. Each cycle, a kaleidoscopic manifestation of form and texture, endures for a fleeting one to two seconds. The resultant effect is an entrancing, playful symphony of line and shape, an odyssey of ephemeral forms that captivate and bewilder.
