“In the land of technology, the spectacle of immediate reality has become an untraceable blue flower” – Walter Benjamin’s words guide and haunt Albert García-Alzórriz in his rigorous dissection of the relationship between medicine and image. With precise vision and painstaking composition, the director offers three variations to reflect upon the relationship between the human body, medical technology and aesthetic representation. The camera crosses the sterilised space of the hospital, revealing a disturbing contiguity between the perspectives of machines and humans, the handiwork of surgeons and that of robots.

The Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) is one of the great figures of modern architecture, ranked alongside Gropius, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. This film analyses Aalto’s uniquely successful resolution of the demands and possibilities created by new technology and construction materials with the need to make his buildings sympathetic both to their users and to their natural surroundings. His inventive use of timber in particular represents both a reference to the forest landscape of Finland and a building material that is ‘warm’ and extremely adaptable. Filmed in Finland, Italy, Germany and the USA, this documentary shows how the Finnish natural environment and art traditions were essential elements in Aalto’s pioneering harmonization of technology and nature.

Ellul warned that technique was having drastic effects on all aspects of modern life. Many Green Anarchists have cited Ellul's work on technique as influential on their thought.

This documentary shows the evoliution of technology in Iceland and the great changes that the society has undergone since the first engineer arrived with new ideas and knowledge that has turned Iceland into a highly modern society in a very short span of time.
