Kraftwerk - The Man Machine




This video was shown in class. I found it particularly effective, especially after discovering it was made in 1978.
Such knowledge makes the work stand almost as a prediction, a vision of the future - which in many ways has already began.
There are themes of control and manipulation.
The video explores the ideas of technology and the potential impact it can have upon humans.
The ways in which technological advances can perhaps be seen to control us as much as we control them.
