Norbert Schliewe and backstepvision present »Die Luft über dem Toaster« (The Air over the Toaster)

A deposit bottle that can play music. CDs that run on turntables. Devices that mechanically create stamp-size television pictures with a mysterious aura. Norbert Schliewe’s curious machines recycle the analog age and offer a new look at reality. Become witness to a highly unique media adventure. Experience the anarchy of stepping backward.
