Steelworks 2000
The video is a collection of fragments and snippets that switch like TV channels. Wide access to cable and satellite television contributed greatly to this phenomenon (the “Viva generation”). Most of the content is found footage from low quality amateur videos (recorded using early digital cameras and mobile phones), as well as from some of the first TV programs on clubbing. The party goers shown in the video are dancing at Łódź’s Love Parade, on a Polish platform at the Love Parade in Berlin, at a Hardbass hooligan event in Łódź, as well as in various urban and rural clubs. For some techno was boiling with aggression and stupidity, for others it was a form of collective fun and self-expression.
