structural films use mathematical means in order to arrange frames. a reflection on the serial nature of film. ZUSE is an exact copy of an original program for the Z3 computer made by konrad zuse in 1941. he is considered the father of today's computers. his calculating machines (Z1, 1938 & Z3, 1941) were programmed with perforated 35 mm film. the program used to make ZUSE originally helped to factor out a polynomial. a small comment on the mathematics involved in structural film and thus a meta-structural film.
