Description:
Moving backwards and forwards between the bleak post-industrial landscape of contemporary Scotland and the electronic dreamscape of virtual reality and computer games, this recently-completed virtual road-movie by Glasgow-based directors Doug Aubrey and Alan Robertson is one of the most ambitious and distinctive experimental video narratives to have emerged from the UK independent scene. "(Aubrey and Robertson's)...electro-road movie moves from the Beat freedoms of Kerouac and the motorway madness of JG Ballard to try to define its own sense of rootlessness for the techno-generation of the '90s" - Trevor Johnston, 'Time Out'
