The digital glow of the internet has largely replaced the dark space of the cinema as the site where furtive desires are first expressed and encountered on flickering screens. Consequently, the web continues to evolve into an uncanny hybrid of personal longing and collective interaction where configurations of watching and being watched take on radically new form.

Reconsidering the historical contours and shifting relationships of sex and community in the digital age, a range of artists has been invited to select two works: one contemporary video to be shown on Tank TV website (online now, July-September 2008) and one historical film to be screened in the cinema at Tate Modern. The programme derives its title from The Young and Evil, a scandalous exposé of subcultures in Greenwich Village written by Charles Henri Ford and Parker Tyler in 1932. It was banned in the United States and England and was published by the Obelisk Press in Paris in 1933. Selectors include Andrea Geyer, William E. Jones, Daria Martin, Carlos Motta, Karol Radziszewski, Bruce Yonemoto and Akram Zaatari.

This programme contains adult content. Over 18s admitted only.
