From Alexis:

..._Lavoro Macchinine_ is a collaborative moving image (@gozertoast) and sound (@oracogan ) work that deconstructs the opening credits and re-imagines the musical overture in the title sequence from the Italian period drama _Il Gatopardo (1963)_...

..._Lavoro Macchinine_ occults the film's original static text with a mercurial, kinetic typography, built from the very glyphs it is at pains to obfuscate...

...letterforms bifurcate in an imitation of manor gates...

...conveyor belts composed of graphemes disseminate across the laneway...

...ligatures roll out of ideograms to scrutinize Roman busts...

...alien marginalia breach the balustrade...

...extraterrestrial dingbats lodge themselves into the ruins of a world that no longer exists...

...ogonek laden emissaries probe the cinemascape in order to become it; to become us...
