Maxwell's Demon

James Duesing

1990 | 00:07:35 | United States | English | Color | 4:3 | Video

Collection: Single Titles

Tags: Animation, Future, Technology

A post-apocalyptic computer animated vision of humanity lost in an industrial wasteland, Maxwell's Demon was animated on a low-cost, consumer computer model - an IBM PC. The tape takes its title from an early 20th-century physics theory postulating the existence of an impossible intelligence, a being that knew the exact location, energy, and direction of every particle in the entire universe - something akin to your home computer, but a lot bigger."
