Cross Sections (1975)
This is a double projection piece which takes advantage of the inconsistencies of ordinary 16mm projectors: it is almost impossible to find two that run at precisely the same speed. The rhythmic patterns of each of the two films are identical, but new patterns are created as the two machines drift further and further apart.
