The images in "Liquid Selves" and "Primordial Dance" by Karl Sims are rendered to perfection. "Primordial Dance" reminds us in its structure of the colors of a kaleidoscope. "Liquid selves" transforms faces and reveals them (and their contents) as masks. The soundtrack is provided by Peter Gabriel.
