THIS WEEK THE PELORUS TRUST MEDIAGALLERY PRESENTS ...
Why Science-Fiction is the only legitimate art-form of the 20th Century
an illustrated talk by artist David Cauchi
Emerging from European avant-garde art and American pulp magazines
Science–Fiction became a force in the mainstream of 20th century
Western culture. This Saturday David Cauchi presents an illustrated
lecture in support of his bold assertion(!) including paintings and
film from the collection of the NZFA. The films include 3 of our
Cataloguers personal favourites about BROSCO, a giant robot that
walked from Wanganui to Wellington in 1960 to publicise Wanganui’s
Industrial Fair. Also on the bill is Dunedin animator Fred O’Neill's
animated tale of war and conquest Flight to Venus (1960), a Pacific
Films advertisement for Caltex IC Plus Petrol (196-) and Len Lye’s
psychedelic classic The Birth of the Robot (1936).
