Music Videos We Love :: The Chemical Brothers - "Got To Keep On" by Michel Gondry & Olivier Gondry
It’s said that movement is medicine and that getting your ass in the right Soul Train line can cure most illnesses. That said, the music video directing Don Dada, Michel Gondry and his brother Oliver took that idea on a mission to heal the world.

I highly recommend watching this one a few times to catch all the subtle camera and editorial tricks going on in here.

Artists We Love :: Scott Allbrecht
One of our favorite things about running this ship is being able to shine the brightest lights we got in the joint on some of our super talented friends and family. Today, it’s with great pleasure that we empty out every box of star dust on our homie, Señor Scott Albrecht. This artist, and his loving wife Malena got nice and cozy in our hearts many years ago and thankfully never left.

This artist, and his loving wife Malena got nice and cozy in our hearts many years ago and thankfully never left. It’s been so uplighting to watch Scott’s artistic evolution that has no signs of slowing down. Now please, and I really mean please, spend some time checking out his amazing woodworks, sculptures and public works - Watch his videos, check out his page on Artsy and allow yourself to get inspired and maybe even a little star dusted.
P.S.
He also does a wicked Chewbacca impersonation.
About:
My work is inspired by an ongoing observation of the situations happening around me, from the larger, shared experiences of our current events down to the more personal and intimate moments. I look at these experiences not in isolation from each other but as connected and often informing a larger conversation of how we are all connected. Through my work I reflect and distill those insights in an attempt to preserve those times or feelings during them. Because of this, I often see the final works as artifacts or reminders of what is taken away, and have come to use this perspective as a guide in my work — to create something worth being reminded of.
Short Films We Love :: 'Mindless Crowd' by Jacco Kliesch
This one hit us pretty hard as we seem to be getting into more conversations about the pitfalls of social media and the feelings of isolation associated with society’s quest for interconnectedness. Lesson of the day: Unplug, laugh a lot, have more sex, spend as much time as you can with people you love, repeat.

About
'Mindless Crowd' is a collage of drone footage combined with a voiceover from the 1960s. The short film is examining the different patterns and formations which human civilization has shaped on the surface of planet earth. It therefore is using only one consistent perspective – the top view.
A film by Jacco Kliesch (2019)
Based on a speech by Alan Watts (1915 - 1973)
