Sonar 2008. Sensational experiments on animals and humans
Музыкальные зарубежные · 13.03.2008
The image of the upcoming 2008 Sonar festival has already been presented in video format and uploaded to the internet. The concept of the new Sonar is cleverly and mysteriously presented in a series of one-minute videos, resembling home videos shot in some secret locations. The main characters of these videos are strange creatures with even more misleading makeup, with human heads attached to the bodies of animals and fish.
These videos, supposedly shot in the closed rooms of a secret genetic research laboratory located somewhere in a remote province of China. The mysterious creatures are the result of biomolecular experiments. The ultimate goal of these experiments is to create a new type of domestic animal, similar to those living and performing in traveling circuses, such as a woman-alligator or a boy-snake.
The new types of living beings are shown locked in cages, lying on kitchen tables. They timidly answer questions asked by researchers off-camera in Chinese.
The video clips were gradually loaded onto an unidentified webpage http://www.b1158.cn/b1158.html→ and on YouTube, with no obvious connection to the official Sonar portals here. The result exceeded all expectations: within the first two days, the videos were viewed 180 thousand times, reached the 13th position in the YouTube Most Viewed ranking, and the third position in the Science and Technology category.
