- A mutant hero, a virtual bank heist. A digital action thriller. A three fingered virus is let loose on a computer system with the express purpose of erasing a student loan.
- Supercollider is an experimental, three film, 35mm suite that explore themes of human experience, power and end times. In the first film/act 'Guns' observes the inate celebration of Phallic Aggression in popular culture and psyche. We are driven by the sound of gunfire and the corresponent erotic impact of the bullet. In the second film/act 'Infection' the pixel is the protagonist and antagonist - a single pixel synthesises both in the natural and digital form of Viral Contagion into a digital datastorm, until the screen is ove run with a miasma of individual pixels. This conludes in the final act/film 'Boundaries of Mankind', which segues from total chaos into a portmanteau of found sound, musique concrete and celluloid as a prelude to the end of times, the very waiting room for the death of the self.
- This film is sound-tracked by the band Bailterspace's trademark sonic guitarscapes, as it washes over the subways and streets of their adopted home of New York. The star of "Dome" is "Miyata Jiro", a performance art robotic businessman - a "corporation solider" - that crawls along the ground in his nice suit. It's the work of New York-based Japanese performance artist Momoyo Torimitsu, who also appears in the film as the businessman's nurse/technician. Momoyo created the work as a commentary on the Japanese salaryman, but its new context outside the New York Stock Exchange works just as well, if not better. It feels emblematic of the recession era as a robotic businessman crawls on its belly towards redundancy on Wall St. It's a striking key image as he/its battery runs down in front of the Stock Exchange Building amongst oblivious pedestrians. Finally, the corporation soldier is carted off on a stretcher. Evidently the nurse's fix-up job on his bottom was not enough to fully repair his system error.
