Poème Electronique

The audio-visual spectacle of Le Corbusier, Iannis Xenakis and Edgard Varese's 'Poème électronique,' conceived for Le Corbusier's Philips Pavilion, at the 1958 World's Fair, Bruxelles. Like an electro-acoustic pondering on evolution, visualised through pages of anthropological books and moving Matissesque collages. (8mins 36secs)

"Le Poème electronique proposes to show, within a distressing tumult, our civilization on her way to conquest modern times" - Le Corbusier.
