"140 Characters"

April 2017

What happened to the future we were promised? Why did we get Twitter instead of intelligent media that enhances society? Why are we developing useless apps instead of hardware? All enabled by our so-called “smart phones” which trap us like the prisoners in Plato’s cave – detached from reality and unaware.

This project was created purely as a non-profit, artistic endeavor with no external funding and no consideration of commercial potential. It is dedicated to Steve Rutt and Bill Etra; the two pioneering designers of scan manipulation analog video synthesizers.

Directed By: Dean Winkler, Maureen Nappi and Donald S. Butler
Music Performed by: Leftfield Written By: Neil Barnes, Daniel Clarke and Paul Daley
