I became aware of the short film "RUKA" or "The Hand" a political allegory by Czechoslovakian animator Jiří Trnka whilst making this painting. The space above the puppet where you might expect a glimpse of the puppeteer is occupied by flowing rhythmical lines perhaps a representation of the algorithm.
