MP3 extract. Under the Marquise, Ibirapuera Park.

In Godard's film Alphaville, Sixties Paris becomes the futuristic city Alphaville not through special effects but through the speech and behaviour of it's inhabitants. Viewed now, Alphaville overlaps Godard's present and projected future (then) with our past (now).

Alpha 60, the computer which controls the city and is finally destroyed by poetry, lends it's name to this project.
