Dale Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Some more info: Monday 23 May 9.00-10.00pm BBC TWO This series of films investigates how people have been colonised by the machines they have built. Although they may not realise it, the way many people see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers. Not just politics and the economy -- but also in the way bodies, minds, and even the whole of the natural world are perceived. The underlying argument is that people have given up a dynamic political model of the world -- the dream of changing things for the better -- for a static machine ideology that says everyone is a component in a system, and that the aim is to manage these systems and keep them stable. From the utopian visions of the worldwide web to the idea of an interconnected global economic system, to the dream of balanced ecosystems, all these ideas share an underlying machine vision of organisation and order. The films tell an extraordinary range of stories: from novelist Ayn Rand and her tragic love affairs to the dreams and the frightening reality of the hippie communes; from the brutal politics of the Belgian Congo to the doomsday computer model behind the rise of modern environmentalism; from the lonely suicide in a London squat of the mathematical genius who invented the selfish gene theory to Alan Greenspan and his faith in a new kind of global economic system. And there's also the computer model of the eating habits of the Pronghorn antelope. The series argues that by embracing this new machine ideology something very precious has been given up: the idea of progress and political struggle to change the world for the better. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/tv/2011/wk21/unplaced.sht Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/66180-new-adam-curtis-documentary-film-may-23rd/#findComment-1582603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Looks interesting, I hope it's better than "It Felt Like a Kiss", which was an interesting experiment, but was muddled in its goal I thought. Anyways, new Curtis is definitely something to look forward to. Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures 백호야~~~항상에 사랑할거예요.나의 아들.

Joyrex Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Machines of Loving Grace was a pretty decent (if not one hit wonder) industrial band from the 90's...
