Vintage Wisdom from the Ether
Echoes of neoliberal wisdom from the origins of our misguided global economy still resonate into our reality today...
It’s the year 2023. Unnoticed by the rest of the world, a small group of artists, enthusiasts and academics celebrate a 100 years of 16mm film. Meanwhile, the TV tube, the eponym for YouTube, but now incapable to receive even a single frame of moving image, has become a mere fetish for retro fans. Gone are the days when one could be lulled to sleep at night by the soothing white noise. But the echoes of neoliberal wisdom from the 80s and 90s will continue to reverberate in the ether forever...
