A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.

A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.

Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
