Michal Tarkovsky's twenty-minute etude begins with a long monologue in which we hear overlapping voices recorded from television. The magma of sounds appears against a background of blackness that lasts for more than a minute on the screen. We then observe a series of images ripped from the television set. Out of the chaos emerges information about the Highland Academy, which has resumed its activities. The theme of the session will be measuring the world. The bicentennial of the first balloon flight will also be celebrated, with the Montgolfier brothers as guests of honor.
