ICA: The Show, is a bi-monthly video magazine conceived by the Institute of Contemporary Arts for the PlayStation Portable exploring the working methods, philosophies and styles of film makers, artists, designers and musicians. Flat-e produced and directed twelve episodes of the show, parts of which can be seen here.

We caught up with Battles at the Route Du Rock Festival in St.Malo, France. This was the last gig of Battles’ european tour and the St.Malo crowd went crazy for them. Battles seem to present an energy that transcends from the stage to the crowd, building to epic proportions, sending crowds into a frenzy -yet somehow achieving this with the greatest restraint. Seeing Battles live is like undergoing some kind of psychological experiment, exploring how humans react to contained and carefully controlled vibrations.
