About this film

Watch Destructionist International (Thomas Dekeyser and Andrew Culp) explore Machines in Flames , an experimental film about an investigative search for ‘CLODO’ — a group that started bombing computer firms in 1980s Toulouse, only to disappear 9 attacks later without ever being found. Journeying through their investigative folders, extensive digital maps and late-night video recordings of CLODO's targets, in this talk the artist-researchers present learnings from their deep-dive into the historical and contemporary lives of anti-computation assault. They trace the limits of archival research, and ask whether they ended up reproducing the very logic of policing that CLODO so feverishly sought to dismantle. What would an ‘anti-archive’ look like? Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
