William S Burroughs Francis Bacon Documentary

During the filming for the 1982 film on William Burroughs, Arena followed him to the home and studio of old friend Francis Bacon, where he drops in for a cup of tea and a catch up. This meeting has never been broadcast, and this clip is shown uncut as the pair discuss their views on painting.

Polytechnica is a channel that delivers digestible philosophical bites that can be consumed anywhere at any time. The general tenor of the work is specifically designed to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without reducing rigour. It is in this spirit of a toy theorem (a deliberately simplistic model with many details removed so that it can be used to explain a mechanism concisely) that we attempt to reveal an applied, quiet, uncluttered, and practical way of consuming challenging content. We are engineering thought.
