A billion years pass in under two minutes, this classic Al Jarnow animation from 3-2-1 Contact in 1979 visualizes the passage of time for all ages: Cosmic Clock.
From the early 1970s through the 1990s, Jarnow made films for various Children’s Television Workshop programs including 3-2-1 Contact, Electric Company, and Sesame Street, as well as a variety of other experimental projects. He is a painter, educator, museum designer, and software developer.
