Irish, Dublin based artist Alan Butler likes to break things and make things, including a shot-for-shot recreation of Godfrey Reggio's 1983 visual masterpiece, Koyaanisqatsi, which features a haunting soundtrack by Philip Glass. Meanwhile, in the same visual universe, Detective Chang makes a complicated arrest.
