United Vloggers treats us to 2 cheeky helpings of Berlin-based video artist and Youtube hedonist, Oliver Laric. In Aircondition, a klutzy dance routine to Laric’s own crisp Bangra-lectro composition, turns into a mesmerizing motion graphic, as myriad frames are echoed in one animated layer. For Touch My Body (Green Screen Version), he cuts out every image save Mariah herself from the original clip, pasting her négligéed body against a lurid greenscreen.
Published on Youtube, he waits for the remixes to roll in, collects them, and reposts them in all their grainy glory on his site. And there we have it! A subtle satire of popular media unwittingly turned upon itself – edgy and hugely appealing.
