When I Sold My Soul To The Machine
Igor Lesic, Ronald Lindgreen & Merijn Pancras, NL 2005, 41 min.
When, in the mid-90s, artists such as I-F, Unit Moebius, Legowelt and Orgue Electronique, along with Bunker Records, turned Den Haag into the central publishing platform for electronic music and hence into the Netherland’s metaphorical Detroit, structures were put in place for some pretty damn agile sub-culture, as the interviews, backroom scenes and party shots in tonight’s feature will reveal.

Inside the Eyeball : Masks, Make-up and fake Aura
Screening-Program, 75 min.
The modifiable identities and market oriented image transfers that have long since marked the parameters of mainstream Pop, and how these might influence the image-making of non-academic experimental music are the subjects of tonight’s video block. To what extent is a new aesthetic of masks and anonymity a part of sub-cultural strategies? Are expectations of subversion fulfilled here, or is it all just about fantasy and having fun?
