Here is a machinima video registration of a live performance by the international artists collective ‘Second Front‘. Recorded on 11 september 11th, 2009 as part of the ATOM.LIVE.NU event at the Gogbot Festival. This was happening at the DDR-Design Fernsehturm (TV tower) of   newBERLIN, Second Life. This was projected live on stage on a large screen at the Atak venue and this was live on the web.

Second Front:

“This edition’s theme was ATOMPUNK, deriving from 50′s atomic and sci-fi culture. In this performance, Second Front appeared as an alien invasion to “help” humanity see the error of their ways for embracing the Atom by showing them the horrors that result from using this technology!”
