No, this is not for me.. Certainly beautiful visuals, but as a whole incoherent and annoying.. The music also did not do enough for me to speak of a real experience.
I think it's a bit of a shame, because I also know that these movies are just not made for people like me, to put a number on this, but on the other hand, many users do the same with movies that I like, so beyond a small 2 * I don't get it.

I actually didn't expect to find this really good or at least fascinating, from what I had seen and heard, if only that similar collages of films start to bore me anyway throughout the film, even if it is with music and visuals that are right up my alley (think Disney's Fantasia). But that it was as boring as this Umfeld?
Is the music (usually music, sometimes I think it's really more sound design) still quite acceptable and sometimes even very nice (that second video with that beat), and are the images sometimes quite beautiful, as a whole so behind each other just can't stand it. And the fact that everything is abstract does not help either, because except for a single moment you just watch animation that is not necessarily beautiful or exciting, but that also seems completely meaningless. At least, I can't get anything out of it except the occasional block of flats. At least there should be something to see from me that I can do something with.
I think this is more for an exhibition space in a museum on those big screens where you can decide how long you watch. Not 55 minutes straight; after fifteen minutes I believed it. 1.0*

Phew.
Bizarre art project. Very nice animations. But other than that I can't praise this. The sound may be in synergy with the image, but I can hardly call that a real achievement. The sound, by the way, is very monotonous and noisy. It was interesting for a while, but soon I was left with only the question of whether this is a serious art project or a crazy student joke.
