Krysten Cunningham’s visual source material, which she discovered through the UCLA physics department, is a 1978 computer animation by Thomas F. Banchoff and Charles Strauss. Her narration incorporates additional commentary on the fourth dimension by esoteric philosopher P.D. Ouspensky and cyberpunk author Rudy Rucker; her harmonica soundtrack adds a meditative aura.
