The Art of War was an audio visual remix project commission by onedotzero festival for a live event in Singapore in June 2006. The Light Surgeons were invited to remix the new album by local musicians the Tang Quartet.
Jude Greenaway, AKA Scanone took the audio challenge on by creating a new Appleton Live set fusing the Tang’s classical sounds with his own distinctive brand of UK dub step. This became the dark and broken sound track to an audio visual wreckage by TLS’ director Chris Allen.
The resulting show collides images of the worlds stock exchanges with a range of classic cinematic audio visual fragments, exploring the distorted history of war on screen and its connections with consumption, thus making comment on how Sun Tzu’s famous book has become a new bible for business strategy and our capitalist society.
