The twentieth century can be defined by rapid change and modernisation. This programme presents artists' films that reflect and explore the matrix of change, and how science and technology, creativity and invention have moved towards the more synchronised experience of modernity. The mechanisms of production become less conspicuous and modes of consumption define lifestyle from an expansive field of possibility. Including work by Len Lye, László Moholy-Nagy, Mary Ellen Bute, Ferdinand Kriwet and Mark Leckey. Curated and presented by Michelle Cotton.
