Turn Off De Light was a ninety-minute triple screen experience by Victor Doray that examined the impact of technology on everyday life. Over 1300 photographic slides and 600 feet of film showing images from popular culture, news segments, and the work of Western Front core members were supercut with narration by Doray to achieve the new media spectacle. The work was produced in collaboration with Gerry Lee-Nova, and featured music by Don Druick.
