Synopsis

TARGET: 090313 977 explores the application of Remote Viewing – the psychic ability to see and describe remote geographical locations, or ‘targets’ – developed by the CIA during the Cold War for intelligence-gathering purposes. The work centres on an attempt by a Remote Viewer to psychically access an undisclosed target using only a set of map coordinates as a reference. This experiment, however, has a unique twist. Unlike in most RV experiments, the target in this session is located in outer space. The viewer is set the task of accessing and describing a target on the dark side of the Moon. The Remote Viewer’s impressions were documented and then delivered to a professional sci-fi movie model maker, who was commissioned to build a model based on the descriptions provided. The resulting sculpture presents a fictional lunar landscape based on psychic information, where a poetic and fictional proposition becomes more tangible than an actual physical place.

Synopsis

The Scottish filmmaker Bill Douglas's reputation rests on the trilogy of films he made in the 1970s about his childhood in postwar Scotland. What many people do not know about Douglas is that he was also a passionate collector of cinema memorabilia and pre-cinema optical devices. He incorporated many of these into his last film, Comrades, which tells the story of the first trade union from the point of view of an itinerant lanternist. Lanterna Magicka recounts the story of Douglas's collection, the making of Comrades and the remarkable legacy Douglas left us with.
