Fundamentalism vs Evolution- another dilemma of coexistence DIWOlogue 2 - a live networked performance :: March 20, 2008; 8:00 pm (2 am GMT) :: online in Visitorsstudio :: As part of the Liminal Screen Programme, Colab-lab, JPL Building, BMNI, Banff, Canada.

A 30 minute performance will be given by Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow. The mix will then open up for everyone who is logged in to Visitorsstudio to join in. The title for the performance is inspired by a silent news reel from 1925 called ‘Fundamentalism vs Evolution’ by the Topical Film Company, UK 1925, released last year by the BFI Creative Archive Licence Group. This film represents “the blaze of conflict between Science and the Scriptures…” surrounding the Scopes ‘Monkey’ trial in the USA; staging a head on collision between two trains representing each position.

Marc and Ruth have collected, edited and looped over 300 media files, trawled from a range of other online archives and blogs: general and special interest, didactic and evangelical. Tomorrow these files will be collided in VisitorsStudio.

Join us to watch, heckle or join the mix and preach yourself!
