Carl Diehl
Derelict Dirigibles
2011
TRT: 9 minutes
musical score composed by Randy Mckean.
A densely recombinant continuum of strange things seen in the sky, this video hovers at the intersection of hi-tech trash and low-brow UFO culture. Loitering in the peripheral visions of "Tomorrow," a churning procession of Martian agriculture, phantom airships, flying disks and other utopic has-beens rematerialize as the alienated e-waste of our own estranged futurities.
