Overview

Political documentary meets baroque rave video in this computer animated portrayal of Louis XIV and his pleasure palace at Versailles. Courtiers from a Rudolf Valentino movie appear in an environment more reminiscent of Blade Runner, while shots from the Poll Tax Riots are weaved into a virtual diorama of London. Uncover the Seventeenth Century origins of our fascination with special effects, surveillance and addiction to media spectacle.
