Curator’s notes

This opening scene to the Crash Zone series sets the tone with the fast editing, cool music, lots of rich colours and an inner urban setting. Each of the characters is introduced in their own homes – telling a lot about who they are. Ram loves making technical gadgets and lives in high-rise public housing, Pi lives in a grand home, Marcello is into making money, neat school girl Bec has to hide her game playing from her parents while Mike’s mum worries about the radiation.
