<br>Would anyone who has seen WAX care to hazard a guess at what "compu-TV"
<br>might actually mean in the following quotation? Does it refer to the kinds
<br>of visual effects that make Toy Story a daily hit at my house?
<br>
<br>1995 Sep/Oct Bloomsbury Review 14/1 Taking many forms, the Avant-Pop
<br>surfaces in everything from William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Neuromancer
<br>(Ace, 1984), which merges unusual techniques (surreal images, info-dense
<br>sentences, the introduction of astounding vocabularies) with conventional
<br>genre science fiction conceits, to David Blair's cult film WAX, or The
<br>Discovery of Television Among the Bees (1991), a disruptive seriocomic
<br>narrative short with a compu-TV vision about cross-sexual reincarnation and
<br>the Gulf War told by Mesopotamian bees (which turn out to be the souls of
<br>the dead).
