LuYang is an emerging Chinese artist who has also presented in the Chinese pavilion in last Venice Biennale. Her video, “LuYang Delusional Mandala” is really crazy, somewhat eerie and very weird video. It’s laden with ideas about neuroscience, death, theology the virtualization of the artist and many other themes. If I haven’t said it already, it’s extremely bizarre, but I recommend watching it. I think she’s on to something!

“SuperHero”-music video for Kool Keith X MF Doom, directed by Kris Merc
21 OctBelow is an excerpt from a Fader magazine article discussing the video:
“When I produced the track I pictured DOOM as a bunch of different Marvel characters,” Keith told The FADER over email. “Like two super heroic distinctive rappers with powers.” The clip’s director Kris Merc added a description of the video’s concept: “I wanted to capture something that felt like a visual pop travesty. I wanted it to visually speak to the legacy of the artists, and Afrofuturism mixed with comic book concepts. I’m a fan of the unseen, and I was obsessed with the idea of using DOOM’s mask and the iconography as a centralized point — as if time and space converged around these strange, sometimes magical tableaus and we were witnessing an ascension.”
