Description: The quantizer used in the making of this film is a sophisticated piece of equipment which evaluates gray values in black-and-white videotape and transforms these values into color. Colmer's piece uses the quantizer to present two nude female bodies who weave on a bed in dance-like motion. The shadings and forms of their bodies are progressively broken down into distinct color fields.
