Road Stories for the Flesh Eating Future (1999)

The hype and hipness of new technology is starting to unsettle our basic understanding of what it means to be human. From virtual reality to the atom bomb, Road Stories for the Flesh-Eating Future explores how technology is penetrating not only the home and workplace, but the mind and body as well. Inspired by the work of fin-de-millennium thinkers Arthur and Marilouise Kroker, Road Stories takes us on a daring journey through the cultural and technical nerve centers of the digital revolution. In Montreal, Toronto, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Frankfurt, Milan, Venice and Salzburg, we meet the cutting-edge artists, engineers and intellectuals who are reshaping the interface between people and machines. Bold and moody, Road Stories aims to challenge viewers with provocative ideas expressed within a densely layered audio-visual landscape. Road trips, interviews, lab visits and archival footage are woven together by a mesmerizing stream of images, music and sound.
