A Sequence from the Evolution of Form (1990)
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
William Latham was a figure that dominated computer art and animation in the UK through his use of 'evolutionary' algorithms. Working at this time in partnership with an IBM scientific research centre, Latham aimed at remodelling the entire creative process, 'mutating' the most startling yet controlled virtual sculptures that had so far been seen. This sequence was released on home video formats as well as screened at festivals.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
