My Endless Dystopian Summer Blockbuster is collage of film drawn from a vast research archive of feature films and TV documentary programs which focus on themes of post-apocalyptic or dystopian futures, technological paranoia and impending end-of-world scenarios. Preference was given to works that fall within the decades spanning either side of the millennium.

Screened as a two channel video installation filling the north and south walls of the exhibition space the piece was originally exhibited at the eMerge Media Space in Townsville Australia as a part of the exhibition Dark Euphoria: Unclassified Media.

This work was one of twelve works produced as part of the creative component of my PHD thesis, "Dark Euphoria: The Neo-Gothic Narrative of Millennial Technoculture", the full text is available here: https://mitchgoodwin..com/phd-thesis-documentation/.

More detail and theoretical back grounding of the work is available at the exhibition project site: darkeuphoria.info/the-endless-dystopian-summer/
