Building on early work and collaborations with the Narrative Lab, Paul’s intentions were always to continue building graphic narrative films. This is the first of his solo attempts to create a feature length audiovisual performance. Autometa is the story of a corporation, one that we see running a sinister machine, that operates upon the people of the city, taking their dreams and hopes, harvesting them and selling them around the world in a global economy. In a politically unstable landscape what happens when the public uprise? The world of Autometa erupts, forcing a world of the hybrids and dreamy constructions to collid in impossible ways.
Produced as a motion graphic film, this work has been performed and screened at many media festivals and events across europe such as mapping, sonar and urban artforms. More recently an extract has been released as an audiovisual single on the DVD label Lightryhtymvisuals.
