Naqoyqatsi - Life As War (89 min; dvd; 2002; English)

Director: Godfrey Reggio

 

Naqoyqatsi chronicles the most significant event of the last five thousand years: the transition from the natural milieu, old nature, to the “new” nature, the technological milieu. Naqoyqatsi takes us on an epical journey into a land that is nowhere, yet everywhere; the land where the image itself is our location, where the real gives way to the virtual.  As the gods of old become dethroned, anew pantheon of light appears in the integrated circuit of the computer. Its truth, becomes the truth.
