A wiry, red-haired mathematician in a dim 1980s office watches glowing video scanlines peel off his chalkboard into thin air.

A mathematician watches in awe as his chalk calculations detach and hover in mid-air as glowing, physical video scanlines. Captured as a 1980s Video-Signal Infopunk film still, the scene features the cool, low-key lighting and distinct Betacam magnetic degradation characteristic of gritty indie productions of the era.
