just borrowed the Naqoyqatsi DVD from the library
by Godfrey Reggio, music/score by Philip Glass,
and tangibly based on Jacques Ellul's vantage,
though the entire film uses no words at all to
convey (in this last of the three part series)
a very architectural context, which is stunning
as photographed and the forces at work, including
9/11 though more as a progression of culminating
pressures of technology, natural desire, training,
formatting, and patterning of form and information.
these patterns are the language that are played
as the instruments and actors within the film.
as a whole, it is as if 'the long hallucination'
that is the epic of life in an abstracted state.
also, very interesting use of infrared (IR) and
ultraviolet (UV) and moving imagery. it is some-
thing, what can be done with all the graphics of
the information landscape, media surrounding us,
when turned into something else, another sense
of things, and to communicate it as effectively...
