A collection of vignettes derived from 1970s television, recalling a time when the three or four available stations beamed a low-resolution orange and brown rainbow of dread directly into the collective subconscious—subduing and narrowing our imaginations, encouraging compulsive consumption, and programming our minds with misogyny, self-doubt, and a fear of others.
