Innovative music video

A truly unique new look. I have never seen people use what appears to be bandwidth and artifact glitches as an art form.

(Guerrilla Edit by Rob: Not to be a dick, but this might very well be an emerging trend, and it seems the appropriate term for this sort of technique is “datamoshing“. Click the link for more history on it, but also check out this more recent Kanye video):

    I totally feel like I am swimming through pixels in this video

    This is the first truly impressionistic film I’ve ever seen. Sweet find, Kyle.

    I feel like the Kanye West video has a little more control. Thanks for posting this, Rob.

    I actually think the first video has more control and uses the effect in a much more creative way. The transitions and layering in the first video gives you a sense of space that I don’t see in Kanye’s video.

    I think the Kanye video is a little bit “cleaner” for lack of a better term. It seems like the artifacting gets wiped clean more than the first video, kinda like a squeegee. In the first video, there is a lot of residual artifacts that tend to linger for longer periods of time into the next scene.
