Big tech’s impact on society is more pronounced than ever and it is said to be successful because it works. Whether it solves industrial, logistical, or biomedical problems, on the surface digital technology is sold as generally good for the future of humanity. To some extent, it is even linked to freedom and prosperity, but
If your life needs a little-seen dystopian ‘80s German film about Industrial music sparking revolutionary change in a society of fast food and cultivated complacency—and I believe it does—then your life needs Decoder. Largely illuminated in lurid reds and TV-tube blues, the 1984 film starred Einstürzende Neubauten’s then-percussionist F.M. Einheit as a sonic experimenter who discovers that playing back recordings of disturbances in public spaces can create actual disturbances among the public, a concept developed by William Burroughs in the “Electronic Revolution” essay found in some editions of the collection The Job. (In fact, Burroughs briefly appears in the film, as does Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV’s Genesis P-Orridge.) Einheit uses this esoteric knowledge to cultivate increasingly widespread defiance and mayhem, attracting the attention of a Muzak corporate hit-man (I love the conceit that Muzak would have an assassin in its employ) whose task is complicated by his crush on F.M.’s peep-show dancer/amateur herpetologist girlfriend, played by Christiane F. The film’s themes and inspirations are illuminated by its writer Klaus Maeck in this interview from Jack Sargeant’s Naked Lens: Beat Cinema, excerpted here from the film’s web site. I...
Hearn Generating Station, Toronto Port District - A Dystopian Industrial Art Print Stepping into the Hearn Generating Station is like stepping into a scene straight from a dystopian future. This imposing structure, long abandoned, resides in Toronto's Port District, a location steeped in Canada's industrial history. Once humming with energy, the building now stands silent, its dark steel girders forming a vast, intricate web of patterns and textures that captivate the eye. The day I captured this image, the Luminato International Arts Festival was hosted within these blue walls, adding a layer of cultural significance to this unique photograph. Even without my usual camera, I captured the mesmerizing lines and textures of the structure, proving that sometimes, art finds a way, irrespective of the tools at hand. This fine art print reflects my profound passion for photography and the pursuit of exceptional quality. Each piece is hand-signed on the reverse side and includes a certificate of authenticity, solidifying its status as a museum-grade piece of art. The high-quality print, made on acid-free 100% cotton paper, brings out the photograph's intricate details, sharp precision, and vibrant hues. The paper's subtly textured, warm-tone finish adds an extra touch of elegance. Each print is created with archival inks, ensuring the photograph's deep blacks, smooth transitions, and rich details remain as captivating as the day it was printed. More so, each print comes with a lifetime warranty against fading, providing peace of mind that this photograph will continue to captivate for years to come. This piece comes with the promise of free delivery across the globe, extending the reach of this art to every corner of the world. Please note that while this print is hand-signed by me, it does not include a frame. However, its museum-grade quality ensures it can stand alone or be the centerpiece of a beautifully curated fine art collection. © Dan Kosmayer, 2016
