Songs of Praise for the Heart Beyond Cure: Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby

Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby’s latest video offers a moving yet relentless experience of contemporary life (human and biological) in the face of moral, physical and environmental degradation. As Emily Jones comments in her accompanying essay, the tape is a collage of snippets of nature, webcam-captured cityscapes, cartoon drawings and descriptions of supernatural creatures conceived in laboratories, pieced together with sweetly-sung hymns to dystopian realities.
