"The future can be found in many places. It can be seen reflected in the eyes of those who are privileged to look at it."


Story Without End, is a video installation created by Vicki Bennett (aka People Like Us) using as its starting point the public information films of the 1950s, to explore our endless search for the newer, the fastest and the best. 

In her work Vicki samples sound and image simultaneously, to create strange and humorous audio-visual collages.  Vicki Bennett has been described as  "a master manipulator, suturing exquisite corpses, using old ephemeral films, worn LPs and the most recent tools of electronic music". In Story Without End, she breathes life back into these dusty, archival films and their visions.

Story Without End was made with footage from the Prelinger Archives, Skip Elsheimer (AV Geeks), and The Internet Archive. It was commissioned by Sonic Arts Network, the lead UK body for sound and technology in the UK and is presented by Herbert Media, the Herbert's Digital Media production and programming team.
