Craig Baldwin’s Spectres of the Spectrum is an assault to the senses, in the best possible way. We are bombarded with images and sounds and fast moving footage accompanied by a constant and relentless narration.
The story is set in 2007 in the bleak landscape of Nevada, in a dystopian or maybe even post-apocalyptic future where the “New Electromagnetic Order” rules. Baldwin explores the rich history of the development of electromagnetic technologies, from X-rays to atom bombs but also from TV to the internet. BooBoo, a telepath and her father, Yogi, are rebelling against this new order.
