A sampling of recent shows:
Here are the first three short films in a series underway at DUST called Glimpse, each offering a view of the impact of a future technology:
** “Circuits”
If you could control all your devices from a tattoo on your arm, would you feel safer? What if that sense of security was an illusion? “Circuits” presents a glimpse into the future of…body modification.
** “The Stork”
The birth of a child makes every parent nervous. Technology makes the process safer, but our biological impulse to worry still seeps into the experience – no matter what. “The Stork” is a glimpse into the future of…birth.
