overview
This little patchwork of car-racing archive footage tries to show the symbolic meaning of a race regarding the mechanization of the world. Technic is more and more about to control the humans, and not backwards. This truly "not new" assumptions remember to the "Frankfurter Schule" with their critics on mechanization. Some of you maybe remember Jürgen Habermas "colonializaton of the "Lebenswelt"!
