The shorts cover avant garde visual art, music video, eye-popping animation, contemporary dance, spoken word and all points inbetween and Eric guides us through them in a slightly unhinged mode pitched somewhere between The Late Show and Garry Shandling. In the final episode of the series Eric Wareheim showcases a music video premiere for James Righton's new project, Shock Machine, directed by Simon Amstell. Artist, David Blandy takes us on a techno-trip through his ideas via an Apple-Mac taskbar.
