With its gorgeous closeups of unidentifiable analog technology malfunctioning combined with synchronized edits of fingers flicking switches and pushing buttons, this video creates a dark and compelling retro-future aesthetic. The futurism is pushed further by the parallel storyline of a female android who is ostensibly being assembled or programmed by all the retro junk. Particularly tasty are the shots which reveal the individual pixels of a computer screen as it displays the song’s lyrics (annunciated by a computer running MacinTalk). Complete with a surprise ending that even Max Ernst would like.

Oh, and check out Air’s website for a higher quality version of the video.

In contrast to our last offering which was great for its low-fi style, these eye-popping titles feature poetic sentences about the five senses. Hailing from the unlikely source of Brigham Young University, this clip is a masterful mixture of stop motion and analog motion, showing how the two techniques can elegantly compliment one another. Thanks to Thomas Hartnell for sending in the link!
