The film should be really called the desintegration of the once promising MIT Lab project rather than a portrait of J. Davis as artist. That said, the utter white/male/cowboy composition of the CAVS that Davis exemplifies was always an issue. Then, the documentary makers do not do him any favors by portraying him as the bio-art Pollock. Sad, really.
The film intrigues the mind with the potential viewing the worldfrom different level of reality which may or may not be relevant but very entertaining
