"APB - All Points Between" was a seminal live cinema project created by The Light Surgeons in 2001. It was a feature length performance which circumnavigated the world through a series of capsule narratives and audio visual tracks. Mixing social-political essay with digital art, the project responded to a range of global issues and different personal perspectives. It was also one of the first live digital art projects to respond to the immediate aftermath of 911. It was presented as a multi-screen theatrical performance in Theaters, Galleries and media art festivals. The technical production involved live video mixing, 35mm slides sequences, 16mm film projection and DJing. The performance was commissioned and developed by onedotzero festival and was toured internationally between 2001 and 2003. This is an excerpt from the show known as "A World Of Extortion" and was recorded at the Melkveg and was part of the World Wide Video Festival, Amsterdam. It formed the end part of the performance and features a narrative by Robert Allen Weiser, a Venice Beach street philosopher interviewed by The Light Surgeons in 1999. This spoken word was also sampled by longtime collaborators U.N.K.L.E. on the intro track to their album "Back & Forth".
