Some old-school Amiga computer music/graphics here. I’m told that this used to be distributed on a single floppy disk…
Threee Geniuses combine a lot of weirdo stuff that I would usually consider ‘really fun’.
Like high-pitched voices and camera feedback.
Awesome band. Brutal video.

In the past Botborg has sort to cautiously invite its audience into a mostly pleasurable and collusive audio-visual environment. “To Bypass a Sensory Roadblock” is, however, no such invitation. Rather, it is a sort of televisual strangulation that seeks to engulf the viewer in a swift takeover of sound-color calamity.
A new phase of evolution beckons our arrival. Time to remove the ‘blocks’.
Part of Botborg’s work concerns the induction of new mental states by the means of repeated exposure to machine-aided synaesthetic media. “Biofeedback in Extended Simulation” is an abstract exploration into a sound-color world where glitches transform into rhythms and interruptions come to consume our focus. Reactions to this simulation can be unpredictable.

Extended version (11 minutes):
Super noisy-glitcho-rama performance from the Italian underground. (Caution! Contains abrasive sound frequencies, stroboscopic projections, and dizzying camera work).
This film is a great mix of constantly changing animation styles. And this ‘changing trick’ is used to it’s full effect when the protagonist meets ‘God’:
Although the animation is wild and wonderful, while watching Mind Game I started to wish that the music was somehow more integrated into the film. This scene remedied this:
Unreasonable green/blue-screen fun.
