Ueda’s Shattered Egg; Prologue to #59

This work – and the longer film it is part of – are outcomes of Rekveld’s long-running investigation into the practice and utopian ideas around analog computing. Its point of departure is a re-enactment of a concrete event: the discovery of deterministic chaos by Yoshisuke Ueda when working with the analog computer at Kyoto University on November 27, 1961.
