Timeless Land is a visual documentary/poem inspired by Kevin Walsh’s life. The images are guided by his music when he was a ‘Full moon scientist’ (his band with Steve Rowlands – with albums at Hard Hands and Botchit&Scarper), music that expresses Kevin’s cosmology and wonders through Time and Imagination. Part of the underground music scene of the 90’s, Kevin was also a punk-rocker, a poet and a Dj. This film is a special homage to him and his music. A 14 min remix version integrates London Ground series. Directed + Camera, sound, editing by Claudia Tomaz.

Value is an expression of belief: if we believe that such and such a company, or bank, possesses the assets it purports to possess, then, in effect, those assets exist. The moment we stop believing, the value of the company or bank collapses, and the assets in question cease to exist. A credit crunch is what happens when people suddenly stop believing in the financial system – or when we start to wonder why we believe what we are seeing on stage. Symposium Notes
