The next day, we drag the bots across town to Monkeytown to present 
"LEMUR performs Man with a Movie Camera", a visionary silent 
documentary by Russian director Dziga Vertov. The film presents a 
gestalt portrait of life in Odessa in 1929: day breaks, the citizens 
file into factories, machines machinate, and the wheel of life spins, 
with all stops detailed and deconstructed by the omnipresent 
cameraman. Six composers - Zemi17, Leif Krinkle, Luke DuBois, Zach 
Layton, DJ Olive and Jim Coleman - have created original scores for 
LEMUR robots to accompany the film.
