Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Kluge's 1970s West German TV experiments, where subsidized airtime let him make deliberately unwatchable art for mass audiences.
The title's internal experience refers to Kluge's theory that true spaceflight would be psychological, not technological—a direct jab at 2001's operatic hardware worship.
