Before GaGa there was Robyn! And she’s back to show us who’s boss with this splendid Friday music and even more splendid interactive video which is written entirely in code, showing the song’s lyrics in no less than THREE dimensions (if you have a pair of 3D specs to hand)! Interactive, hmmm? Why, yes! The … Continued
You read it here first (or maybe second)! The first ever interactive fashion editorial to grace our wayward Zeitgeist, show-cases some of Fashionistan’s most promising soon-to-be darlings – as selected by stylist superbot Keegan Singh. Directed by New York-London migrant and wow-worthy photographer Barnaby Roper, the project is spearheaded by ShowStudio (but of course!) and … Continued
A motley crew of no less than 500 zombie-, gore-, horror-, dungeon-, and dragon-inspired creative souls collaborated on this crowd-sourced remake of the 1968 cult classic, re-interpreting their favorite scenes by any animated means necessary. Style and process were no object, and the result is a glorious mish-mash of monochromatic melodrama. At least that’s what … Continued
In a logical chronology from little to large, the third in Gary Hustwit’s trilogy of design documentaries is about cities, and the magnificent hotch-potch of architectural higgeldy-piggeldiness that comprise the exploding megalopoli of today’s wild world (FYI the first two movies were about typography and object design, respectively). Urbanized marks a watershed moment in human … Continued
With a title akin to the standard motion picture gauge which has remained unchanged since 1892(!), 35mm is a fun guessing game in the form of a 2-minute animation by one German-Italian Pasco Monaco. It features no less than 35 classic movies, pulled together under a rather pleasing series of ultra-simplistic visual emblems (like a … Continued
According to one Twitter enthusiast, Animal Collective’s new music movie ODDSAC, “makes Matthew Barney look like Matthew McConaughey”. It’s a sumptuous, lo-fi hallucinogenic visual album of images built by the band’s long-time concert visual collaborator Danny Perez, around the intense aural layers which define their eerie, fractal new sounds. Could this be a new avenue … Continued
News of a collaboration between cult director David Lynch, prolific producer Danger Mouse, and the late, great alt rock outfit Sparklehorse, makes us quiver in our pixie boots! It’s an album, featuring a line-up which reads like a who’s who of indie pop royalty (Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals, Iggy bloody Pop!) and a beautifully … Continued
Aah, trusty old chatroulette! An endless source of weirdness and time-wastery, social experimentation, and artistic ingenuity. Narcissus is a cultural endeavour which pays homage to the myth of Narcissus (a.k.a his inability to recognize his own pretty face in the mirror), using bespoke software to divert the incoming chatroulette video feed so each person sees … Continued
The super-humanitarian medical collective, Doctors Without Borders, just launched a campaign to radically reduce the severity and scope of malnutrition among small children, with a hard-hitting, interactive web doc. A selection of exceptional press photographers (Jessica Dimmock of Ninth Floor fame among them), made visual investigations into the contexts (social, political, geographical) and consequences, of … Continued
It’s so much more than your average stop motion snippety snipped-up succession of stills. This title sequence for the three-day “post-digital” (que?) super-fest known as OFFF, has a magical lilt to it that we just can’t put our finger on… It’s cheerful and full of unexpected delights while making little-to-no sense. The brands names are … Continued
