Fischerspooner
video / 00:03:00 / USA / 2003
Fischerspooner is the figurehead of the electroclash movement. Their

brought them fame.

Momentum
Martijn Veldhoen
video / 00:05:50 / The Netherlands / 2003
In 'Momentum', we as the viewers are being taken in one slow movement

barriers without any difficulty, it seems we are losing our physical 
presence.
