Pandaemonium
"Pandaemonium" (1995) is a feature film by John Wyver on four artists working with man and machines, shown during Wiretap 3.07.
Pandaemonium explores the spaces where cutting-edge artistic expression, culture and politics converge, generating a creatively contested sociocultural dissent. It examines several new possibilities for the symbiosis of Man and Machine through the work of four artists - David Therrien, Stelarc, Chico MacMurtrie and Survival Research Laboratories - using modern technology and industrial detritus to create avant-garde machine performance art. Within an artistic space both exclusive and infinite, these artists grapple with the technophobic and technophilic aspects of the shifting interrelationship between humans and machines.
