“A CYBER-FI FEVER DREAM”

Flexing an extensive body of work spanning three decades, Finnish-born artist and actor Antero Alli has frequently explored the bleeding edge of technological paranoia. Beginning with his stark predictions for 2023 in 1995’s THE DRIVETIME, expanding into “video poems” and experimental theater, and finally culminating in his return to 2023 with the AI and VR warnings of BLUE FIRE. Throughout his career, Alli has never been afraid of putting his personal mindscape in front of an audience. We invite you to join us for the New York premiere of his latest Cyber-Fi masterpiece, BLUE FIRE followed by a remote Q&A session with the director. Moderated by Philip Ginley.

An elite A.I.coder faces a head-on collision between the algorithms of the VR worlds he’s creating and the archetypal dimensions of the greater Collective Unconscious.

“The daily pursuits of metal musician, YouTube personality, and Wendy’s employee Josh Saunders in his hometown of Casper, Wyoming.”

Frequently argued to be the best YouTube documentary ever made, GOTHIC KING COBRA transcends the oft-misaligned genre and creates a stunning, lonely portrait of life in Fly-Over Country, USA while capturing the exploits of the ever eclectic and strangely charming outsider musician/vlogger Josh Saunders AKA KingCobraJFS.

Join us for a one-night screening of GOTHIC KING COBRA, featuring a rare appearance and Q&A with director Joel Patrick (aka trappped). Only at Spectacle.
