Computer videopsichodelic. The computer artist kustokusto experiences two parallel sounding soundtracks in real time with the help of drawing. The tracks are a renowned art critic’s Boris Grojs lecture and a post exhibition meeting of artists in the Zverev's Center. The complex combination born a sound and a video series also makes the contents of hour film. Precisely verified, harmonious statement on the "art as gamble" theory alternates with ordinary conversations on the Russian-Jewish question, the Victory over fascism, "sexual energy" and drawing of the Warholl’s "Can" - in which the artist tries to include all these things. The film’s final phrase: "We have caught a devil - but what should we do with him?" – doesn’t explain everything - but much.
