Concept art for Helio Mira’s $16.8m million movie Ages of Madness, reportedly a…

“A unique interdisciplinary meeting of experts from the biotechnology, medical professionals, bioethicists, philosophers, theologians, legal jurists, health workers, artists, film and media makers and pop icons. The visitors and experts come together in unexpected combinations and on various issues in rooms that modeled after film sets (Hospital, Cemetery, Laboratory and Cinema – and so typical places of production and negotiation of the “undead”). The visitors can move freely through the entire setting at any time. All conversations, lectures, presentations, performances and experiments are recorded and broadcast live, so that the recipient can independently of their position in a set of infrared receivers and headphones to listen to every situation.”
