Watch VoirFilms. A factory is a place of creation, hard physical labour, and technology. In an age of changing production practices, a factory is oftentimes a reminder of the past, of abandonment, and of the system’s impermanence.

Ieva Balode, founder of Baltic Analog Lab and an analogue media artist, offers an introspective sum of words, burned-in images, legacies of the past, and innovative proposals.
