Naqoyqatsi Miramax Home Entertainment : Distributed by Buena Vista Home Entertainment, c2002

"In this cinematic concert, the concluding film of the Qatsi Trilogy preceded by critically acclaimed Koyaanisqatsi ("Life out of balance"), and Powaqqatsi ("Life in transformation"), mesmerizing images reanimated from everyday reality, then visually altered with state-of-the-art digital techniques, chronicle the shift from a world organized by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology, the synthetic and the virtual. Extremes of intimacy and spectacle, tragedy and hope fuse in a tidal wave of visuals and music, giving rise to a unique artistic experience that reflects Reggio's vision of a brave new globalized world"--Container

Tragedy –“The whole truth" : Architecture . Mystic Fire Video (1989)

"Tragedy": Greek tragedy has left a legacy which challenges and shocks our modern attitudes toward calamity and disaster. Modern media has turned the world into one vast electronic community in which we see one another but never meet. We no longer seem able to respond to terrible events; a series of alienated images come into our living rooms through television. This is quite different from Greek tragedy's attempts to explain, to give significance, to involve its audience
"Architecture": Architecture is a public art form, shaping the very way we live. To the Greeks, proportion is not a matter of individual taste but depends on mathematical laws of harmony which can only be broken at the expense of beauty. Modern man has a different vision of the city: the automobile as symbol of private freedom has reduced cities to historic centers surrounded by a mass of suburbs. This reality of uniformity and standardization is destructive of anything human

Shashi Caan is the Chair of Interior Design at the Parsons School of Design in New York and principal of Shashi Caan Collective. In this lecture she questions and re-evaluates our concepts of design and architecture and investigates the appropriateness of current design methodology. Shashi claims there is no more avant garde and that design has become entranced by Hollywood/Bollywood, and she seeks answers for the future by critiquing the designs of today. She discusses issues such as form making and the result of too much intellectual design, why today's architecture does not provoke delight at discovery, design vocabulary versus communication (and what we truly mean), designing for humans, color-generated design, and technology in real life
