The Banana Bender – Arik Einstein (1977)

2 Oct

In 1977 the Arnei Lipsei and Dudu Shalita from the Ein Gedi studios in Israel created this rare video for the classic 1968 song “Mekofef Habananot” (The Banana Bender) by Israeli singer Arik Einstein. The topic of the song is a mysterious creature that lives in the trees and that is responsible for bending bananas and giving them their curved shape, as well as adding cracks and holes to the various fruits and vegetables.

This was the first colored animation video produced in Israel, and the style reminds one of classic 1970s psychedelic animation. Hope you enjoy it.

Each kinetic sculpture is a wooden machine designed to produce interesting patterns. The sculptures move solely by the controlled release of energy from a spring. No other motor, battery or power source is used.

Anyhow, every single piece of his art is a trip:

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s 11th single once again delights with irresistibly catchy melodies and trippy visuals. In this Halloween themed video she provides us with lots of candy for the eyes, ears and brains.

You can find more of her saccharine art here, here and here on dpv.

From 0 to 100 years in Dutch and Hebrew

25 Sep

There is something distinctly psychedelic about these people counting the years from 0-100. Watching these many people advance with age is like watching life go by – collective life. It’s like those videos of people getting older, but this time around involving a collective of people. What I like about these videos is that they show an amazing portrait of society at large and it’s many faces. Watching this made me like these people and feel like we are all part of something greater.

So, first off here the original version as far as I can tell, done in Amsterdam in 2011: O-100 in Dutch.

And here is my favorite, in my own language. 0-100 in Hebrew:
