Proteus the movie:

This one-hour movie is about, among other things, the life and work of Ernst Haeckel and his mission to integrate science, art and spirituality. It’s subtitled “A Nineteenth Century Vision,” and it weaves threads of cultural and intellectual history with mythography, art history, and literary criticism into a pattern of emergent form based on the growth of radiolaria. The film chronicles an alchemical quest that incorporates quotes from Goethe’s poems, letters, and Faust, with a provocative reading of Coleridge’s “The Ancient Mariner,” and an account of the vessel, Challenger’s voyage of scientific research. This is accompanied by music, sound design and animation graphics of extraordinary precision and quality.
