I can’t believe I have not yet posted the video for Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights”. Above is the first version; in the official us version of the video for the song (below) her madness shines just as bright, and while the flow of her Ausdruckstanz can be considered psychedelic anyways, the first version video emphasizes that aspect perfectly.
Super-cut of 260 visual effects for COSMOS: A SpaceTime Odyssey, set to haunting music ‘A3’ by Nicolas Jaar’s Darkside. Watch Neil deGrasse Tyson trip to beautifully rendered cosmic phenomena in HD glory.
Can I buy tickets to that spaceship?
Recently I’ve been telling people that I have a deep love for motion. Nearly any form of it: roller coasters, motor cycles, board sports, driving, flying… I love it all. I suspect that the creator of this video shares this passion.
I made this over a 2 month period. This animation is my own personal interpretation of the music. Pala Leda told me to just make whatever popped into my imagination, so that’s what I did.
It follows the logic of a dream. One scene was spontaneously animated after the other, yet it’s all connected in a way.
I tried to tell a coherent story with this one. I still have no idea what it’s about ultimately. But I like keeping things open to interpretation. People seek order in the chaos. We see faces in the clouds when there really are none. We’re pattern seeking creatures.
Sometimes I wish things could exist for the sake of existing. There doesn’t have to be a deeper meaning to everything. We know sleep is vital to health, but what functions do dreams actually serve? I have heard a lot of theories for the purpose of dreams, but it all seems more rooted in superstition than empirical evidence.
Again, we create purpose when perhaps there is none. Or maybe the purpose is beyond what are brains are capable of understanding, so our ignorance and conjecture is a defense mechanism against the incomprehensible.
Why is it so hard to admit “I don’t know?” It’s like our species has to know, or at least half-know everything, even if we can’t know.
