The trailer for Man & Machine: A Naked Robotic Love Story which will premiere at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival.
Have you ever heard the strains of a naked robotic orchestra? Experience the love story and “new music” generated by an unconventional pair of musicians and performance artists in Ghent, Belgium. Godfried and Moniek built an entire orchestra of robotic instruments designed to be conducted in the nude using Doppler sonar radar. Will their most daring creation find acceptance in the music community? Or will they be forced to remain on the fringe of modern music culture? This documentary follows the trajectory of their rebellion, their collaboration and the challenges of maintaining a creative identity within a romantic relationship.
