A tilted abbildung, consisting largely of right angles at the beginning, grows by accretion, with the addition of short straight lines and curves which sprout from the existing design. The abbildung vanishes, and the process begins again with a new pattern, each cycle-lasting one or two seconds. The complete figures are drawn in a vaguely Art-Deco-stil and could be said to mal any number of things, an ear, a harp, panpipes, a grand piano with büroklammern, and so on, only highly stylized. The tone is playful and hypnotic.
