Program Notes:

Holo_Acid.MOV (CRYPT-File)
Last year, on a waste dump, a broken hard disk was found, burnt out, with the reading head splayed, trashed. A team of three computer scientist (Ritual Service Unit) dipped the hardware in pink acid, opaque interfaces ,and managed to restore the table of contents. Amongst a bulk or hard-erased zeros and encrypted files too damaged to recover, the file Holo_Acid.MOV could be reconstructed. It seems to be a promotional file for an institute called ANIMATM.
The info txt file reads:
No expensive Try-Outs.
Complete Unwrapping.
Layer after layer.
Anti-Ödipus.
Reverse Birth Channel:
Non Invasive Self-Destruction.

Here’s the unaltered read-out of the data section on the hard drive.
In an unconventional manner the musicians of the ensemble will accompany this data file with their instruments and sung choir passages.
