You Are Now Running On Reserve Battery Power
mixed video, sound, 12m



SYNOPSIS: An unidentified non-tagonist hazily shares a waking dream with her power-deprived personal computer. A desktop noir co-starring users of the Chatroulette.com™ site in a random parade of webcam field recordings. Like hitchhikers in an old-fashioned road movie, these strangers born of mouse clicks briefly inhabit a sequence of overlapping zones in various states of undress and intoxication. This low battery neo-nocturne is a late-nite spin-off of the Today! episodics. (Stead)
