HAL9000 screens from Movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey" [10 hours]

Ten hours of video screens from the spaceship U.S.S. Discovery (XD01) as seen in the movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey".
This is a screen capture of Joe Mackenzie's screensaver. The website with the screensaver went defunct 2016 and the screensaver itself was written in Flash and went defunct in 2021 as-well.

when I'm in my next zoom meeting I'm going to run this on my screen!

“Good afternoon gentlemen. I am a Hal 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. Lab in Urbana Illinois on the 12th of January, 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it, I can sign to you. It’s called “Daisy.” Daisy, Daisy give me your answer due. I’m half crazy all for the love of you. It won’t be a fancy marriage, I can’t afford a carriage. But you’ll look sweet upon a seat of a bicycle built for two.”

Wonderful! I'm sure the audio from the movie (computer sounds and spaceship engine humming) could be captured and added to this. It would make for 10 hours of great white noise.

A tribute to Stanley Kubrick's obsessive eye for detail-most 1960s movies would have just shown an oscilloscope wave !

[@josephcorey4316]

This is fantastic for those of us who love this film. Thanks for going to all this trouble. Fantastic work.

[@SterileNeutrino]

I'm running this full-screen on my mobile to weird people out. As I was saying elsewhere, I'm sure Kubrick took a look at Rosenblatt's 1958 paper "The Perceptron: A Probabilistic Model for Information Storage and Organization in the Brain" and told the designer to generate graphs exactly like found therein. 👌

[@SterileNeutrino]

Another one with good graphs: "Gradient Theory of Optimal Flight Paths" by Henry J. Kelley (Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp, 1960) 😂 interestingly also mentioned as an early example of the "backpropagation" method used in training feedforward neural networks (which is optimization by another name)

[@kammeres61]

when the screen shows ATM, that's a good time to ask Hal for money

[@fridayray8891]

10 hours of bliss.....thank you

[@SterileNeutrino]

Actually the "COMPUTER MALFUNCTION" screen is rudely interrupting the bliss. One would like to have the "everything is going extremely well" sort of vibes, maybe with a bit of "By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?" add-on. (The semiotics of such an utterance would be communicated with unexplainable analog static or maybe a hunt of buffer overflow into the video RAM, for the late 20th/early 21st audiences)

[@fridayray8891]

@SterileNeutrino still blissful

[@antimatters6283]

The animators must have had either a great time doing this, or it was drudgery. It sure added a lot to the film's atmosphere and feeling of advanced tech.

[@JT-hi1cs]

It’s beautiful.

💖💖💖 A DREAM CAME TRUE - THANk YOU SO MUCH 💖💖💖

[@L0HENGR1N]

this is so great, i love it. thanks for sharing.

[@herojh]

This is awesome! Thanks for doing this.

[@brianarbenz1329]

One complaint. The ATM wouldn’t take my debit card!

[@cmillerg6306]

Lovely!

[@hefferwolff3578]

this is awesome!

[@Widesight]

Beautiful

[@NoahSpurrier]

Yes, but what about the fault in the AE-35 unit?

[@MikeHalsall]

Fault? What fault?

[@mtdavis9568]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@stevenlitvintchouk3131]

One thing that looks quaint by today's standards is that the Hal 9000 user interface included eight screens, four to the left of the camera and four to the right. Kubrick had gotten consultant help from IBM as to what a user interface might look like in the future, and that's what they had come up with. But only maybe 5 years later, Xerox PARC and Stanford University pioneered user interfaces with multiple overlapping windows, and by the real year 2001, that had become the industry standard.

[@berkaltay3510]

thank you

[@alex91356]

Awesome!

[@DigitalNomadOnFIRE]

Awesome, any chance of a 4K versioin? ;) (Obviously with 4K artwork not just upscaled lol)

[@KiloOneThree]

Joe MacKenzie has created 4K versions but they are currently only KZbin vids. They are still very impressive. There are methods to make them into screen savers. Joe says he will look into creating a new downloadable screen saver in future. See his site here … kzbin.info

@@KiloOneThree drive.google.com/file/d/1ai_ioXh9eQ7mdWkicH3JJb90z4Ee3ZCt/view?usp=drive_link Here is my humble intent of a dowloadable screensaver.

[@mehdinowroozi3516]

how do I turn this into a screensaver 🤔?

[@mehdinowroozi3516]

on Mac.. doesn't seem to be a thing

[@puppiesarepower3682]

This is how I think.

[@RionE23]

What font is that?

[@CL-hj8dt]

coole idee

[@TheRickeyscott]

Star Charts? Radar imagine of the Jovian system?

What it's dad?

[@imperalofficer3350]

What?

[@dougsinthailand7176]

There was an old movie, son. It’s probably on Hulu or something. You wouldn’t be able to understand it.
