Part 1 of 2 of Not Knot.

Not Knot is a guided tour into computer-animated hyperbolic space. It proceeds from the world of knots to their complementary spaces -- what's not a knot. Profound theorems of recent mathematics show that most known complements carry the structure of hyperbolic geometry, a geometry in which the sum of three angles of a triangle always is less than 180 degrees.

    This is a really old video, made at Geometry Center (University of Minnesota), so they cannot change it in anyway. Besides, The Geometry Center does not exist anymore...

    It would be nice if you would make the volume higher (on part 2 too).
