Could not have found a more perfect film specifically in light of the meaning I've been encountering in flicker film recently. Extreme light and color beauty—when you die you do not go to Heaven right away you go to The Pulsating Place first and then through all the lands of the dead and along or at the end of the way you will likely see exactly this, a wordless and weaponless battle between the organs of a star that is absorbing its system.
As an aside but also kind of crucial, there are two personal contexts for this I want to mention, both happening to be comments made in addition to the already-bold description given by the filmmaker specifically in…
There are better, far more engaging ways to get a seizure than this.
Fred Worden’s career spanned 40 years, until his 2013 retirement, and he frequently found himself in the best of both worlds: some of the most distinctive 16mm film and digital cinema of their eras, silent and with sound, and with friends and supporters in both the East and West Coast experimental film scenes.

If the cinema of sensory overload is to be described as the visual analog to minimalist/noise/experimental music, there needs to be a distinction as to what is recorded to tape and what is to FL Studio. Almost makes me wonder if the entire purpose of this style post-y2k is to fulfill a sensory desire for the spectacular (Avatar, MCU etc) while still retreating into esotericism.
I know it's not, but not always Not.*
