The Light Bulb Conspiracy October 24, 2011

Does the ever-lasting light bulb really exist? How can a tiny electronic chip ‘kill’ a product? Why are millions of computers being shipped around the world to be dumped rather than repaired? How did two artists from New York use the internet to extend the life span of millions of iPods? And what has all this to do with Planned Obsolescence? The result of three years of painstaking research, THE LIGHT BULB CONSPIRACY travels to the U.S., Germany, France, Spain and Ghana, and uses rare archive material and hither unseen internal company documents to separate fact from urban legend. Free and open to the public. Q & A with the director after the screening.
