Here’s a new video by Russian electronic artist Pixelord aka Alexey Devyanin for his track “Anorak.” He also did the visuals for the video — a CGI landscapes disintegrating into a transparency screen, then populated by an array of zooms on various stylized animated images.
As noticed by Prosthetic Knowledge, the visuals feature tons of recognizable Tumblr GIF artists like kidmograph,vincemckelvie, noahspidermen, extracrispy and kimlaughton.
Pixelord explains:
Anorak is a person who has a very strong interest, perhaps obsessive, in niche subjects. This interest may be unacknowledged or not understood by the general public. The term is sometimes used synonymously with geek or nerd.
“Niche” they may be, these subjects definitely are acknowledged and understood by many people into specific aesthetics of digital ephemera and art. Shout out anoraks!
