While cyber-lusting after David Byrne (who we saw sporting a TUTU this past weekend!), we re-discovered the wonder of audiovisual collaboration that is the N.A.S.A (North America South America) project. We mentioned the mouth-watering Shepard Fairey contribution a while ago, and now you need to see this (and while you’re there, all the frankly delicious … Continued
We stumbled across these high-lair super short comedy sketches featuring a couple of absurdists goofing about, on the marvellous Channel 101. Supershort 1 is our fave: old etchings with moving mouths and funny accents – it doesn’t take much to make us chortle!
We have it! The extra-terrestrial awesomeness that is the video for Parachute Ending by French DJ crew Birdy Nam Nam! An epic audiomotive hieroglyphic through time and space, the video oozes a quintessentially French flavor of surreal grandeur that echoes Daft Punk’s glorious Interstella 5555 era (as well as lesser-known, but equally brain-blowing French animations … Continued
Amazing London animation collective Trunk just dropped a grotesque music promo for Tom Fun Orchestra’s “Throw Me To The Rats,” directed by dynamic new directing duo Alasdair Brotherston and Jock Mooney. An incontinent cat treads the boards of a vaudevillian cardboard theater.
This animated evolution of the video game will resonate with even the most casual of gamers. German animation house Musclebeaver recreated all the usual suspects one pixel at a time (quite literally), opening with the innocent simplicity of Pong and climaxing in a lusty exchange between a frisky Mario brother and hot virtual mamacita Lara … Continued

Set to the dramatic film score from Oliver Stone‘s seminal 1986 war movie Platoon, the Chapman clip is, in line with their signature style, … Continued
We say yessy to Jawbone.tv! This tasty-looking, week-old website marks the explosion of new, interactive storytelling methods, virals, and experimental innovations in digital arts. “The evolution of story”, apparently! Check this interview with interactive graphic novelist NAWLZ, who’s praises we sang some time ago.
I believe we just died and went to Heaven! David Lynch (swoon) is making a web documentary series (surely not!), with new episodes shot and broadcast daily (tell me more…), featuring zany real-life Lynchian characters (Heaven I tell thee!), shot over a 70-day road-trip (this much excitement cannot be healthy!) across the States and back. … Continued
A hotshot Hollywood producer named Mark Horvath, who lost everything to alcoholism and ended up living rough in 1995, is the latest darling of the social media industry. He teaches vulnerable, marginalized, and often under-educated homeless people how to use Twitter to tell their stories and put pressure on policy-makers – as well as providing up-to-the-second documentation of homelessness … Continued
It looks like Shynola are back, after the sad news last year that their chief creative genius Gideon Baws had passed away suddenly, aged just 33. And the dream-like bizzarity that is this video for Coldplay’s new ditty won’t disappoint! With Chrizzle Martin (decked out in rainbow colors) fighting a giant psycho-squirrel and a team of … Continued
