Filmed on 10 June 1968 at the entrance to the Wonder factory (light bulbs). We see a single woman, in a large gathering of men, the moment which, after the strike of a thousand events in May '68, everyone is supposed to go back to work. Read more…

Or is this a warmup for some biggish-data project that'll need funding? I don't get it. Read more…
