The music videos in this program reflect utopian environments in all its variations, sometimes colourful, sometimes black and white. Playful and aesthetic use of visual techniques can leave the laws of space and time behind: three million years of evolution in three minutes, like an acid trip by Charles Darwin. Neither moralising nor polarising, these works evocate a future, a world that lies ahead of us but yet bears the paranoia of the present. Think of the fear of life forms mutated by nuclear catastrophes in the sixties, space fantasies in the seventies and the uncanny of science or the merging of body and technology in the last decades. The musical basis of the video clip allows works in this program to be very condensed and concentrated, it catches the spectator and takes him on a visual time travel. ‘Outer Space – Do the Evolution’ presents futurist fantasies, from alien to alienation.
