Abstract
Machines in Flames is a secret history of destruction that follows the footsteps of a clandestine group of 1980s computer workers who bombed tech companies. The film combines archival traces, a viral desktop choreography, and late-night video recordings of the group’s targets into a meditation on computation, destruction, and the lure of archives.
