A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.

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.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.

A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
