Abstract geometric animations?
We're working on some animations to be used as a backdrop for a DJ show. They're supposed to be abstract and geometric, and I'm looking for some references. Seen any good ones?

Those are both super-classic oldies though. For more current stuff, maybe Universal Everything?

I like Len Lye's work, but that may not be what you're after.

Something else you may want to consider looking into is geometric optical illusions, specifically the ones that trick the eye into seeing motion. For example, the cover of Merriweather Post Pavilion.

I went to the SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference for many years, mostly in the 1990-2000 range. Each year there is an "Electronic Theatre" show with great CG animations from the previous year. And every bleeping year there would be at least one or two really long, completely abstract/geometric/swirly Japanese animations. Bored me to tears. But now that you mention it, they might be perfect as a backdrop for a DJ show. I'll see if I can hunt them down.

Ganz Graf is pretty neat.
Farbrausch demos are also nice.

For 2D stuff, this video for Music Is Math is rather good, also.
