Electronics in the World of Tomorrow
Cut-out images from American magazine Electronics rotating on a turntable create a vertiginous effect and form the steady basis of this hypnotic film. The soundtrack features Kurenniemi’s own first recording, the blasting noise piece On/Off. Remastered and edited by Erkki Kurenniemi and Mika Taanila in 2002.
