Devour

Devour is a dada-esque exploration into consumerism running rampant, leaving a culture of zombies to omnivorously deplete the earths resources as its consequence, at the Boxing Club, March 16.

Devour is a dada-esque exploration into consumerism running rampant, leaving a culture of zombies and the living dead to omnivorously deplete the earths resources as its consequence.

A montage of images using both original footage and clips from horror and sci-fi movies, and educational films from the 1950s on shopping, gender-roles, and technology. Lyrics are also derived from cut-up segments of the dialogues and narration of these films, edited and re-arranged, all in and out of synch to the wonderful rhythms of Orquesta Tonta.

This is a continuation of an earlier video by Zev Robinson and http://www.artafterscience.com/orchesta_tonta/orquesta_tonta.htm "]Orquesta Tonta[/URL] and one using music by the [URL="http://www.artafterscience.com/wtosp/eating_patterns.htm"]Walter Thompson Orchestra[/URL] as well as the [URL="http://www.artafterscience.com/chatterbox/chatterbox.htm video installation.

Devour the Earth will be far more complex, developing the narrative and adding live music and actors into a multimedia extravaganza.
