WHEN DECADES COLLIDE
A visceral moment in time occurred approximately between 1978-1983 when a portal to a possible audio-visual dimension opened.
Culture was destabilised as the tectonic plates of the 1970’s collided with the 1980’s. A fracture in cultural time deployed the Avant Garde who gave us a glance at a different future initiated by:
Industrial Records; Second Annual Report, D.O.A, Heathen Earth;
Chris and Cosey, Heartbeat, Trance;
Cabaret Voltaire, Mix Up, Voice of America;
The Human League, Dignity of Labour, Being Boiled;
The Normal, Warm Leatherette, T.V.O.D;
Leer and Rental, The Bridge;
The Final Academy;
Bladerunner; Escape from New York; Scanners;
Subverting business models and seizing the means of production by small independent tape labels.

“Outsiders locked inside” seeing that initial glimpse of an alternative future dematerialize have evolved in multiplex directions.
