Leaving The Twentieth Century is a trilogy of experimental videotapes which calls attention to the fact that we are approaching a point of departure in history. We are leaving the twentieth century and preparing to enter a new millenium. The exciting concepts and technologies which will define the future are already emerging. But at the same time, we are clinging to social, psychological, economic and political ideologies that could, in the worst case, prevent the continuation of life into the twenty-first century.
With this trilogy, I take a pointedly satirical look at the realities of the twentieth century and raise serious questions about the possibilities of the future.(Max Almy)
