In an Orwellian future, the citizens have become robotars controlled by a nebulous organization called Rentagon, whose mysterious robotic surveillance technic allows access to peoples’ minds and saturates them with information. One man tries to resist. A member of the Transmission Research Society, he meets a group who practice an alternative sexuality involving complex technical apparatus at convulsive rituals. With a collosal visual montage made up of more than 20,000 rendered effects, Lebensraum represents the opus magnum of Istvan Kantor’s video work and the culmination of the collective Machinesexactiongroup.
