An attempt to describe the development of global culture. In every sector efficiency is crucial, technological advancements outdo themselves, and tele-communication is radically altering man's relationship to time and distance. National markets are less important than global scope. Ambivalence is mounting: both the solution and intensification of world-wide problems are easier to grasp now. The central (stylistic) means are 3D-graphics which, embedded in interviews and shooting locations, comply with the interface of all multi-media works. Included among the speakers are: Eduardo Galeano, poet; Murray Gell-Mann, Nobel Prize for Physics; Kevin Kelly, editor of Wired: Alan Kal, inventor of the Mouse and WINDOWS interface program; the Dali Lama, spiritual leader from Tibet, and the media critics, Neil Postman and Gene Youngman. Altogether, an attempt to combine documentaion and video art.
