“She trusted me completely,” French digital artist Systaime (Michaël Borras) tells ANIMAL. Every day for days, actress/singer/director Asia Argento shot videos with her cellphone in Rome and sent them to Systaime in Limoges, France. “She has given me no instructions.” The video for “Sexodrome” off Nuun Records’ Total Entropy is a mash-up of Asia’s video selfies, YouTube clips, datamoshed […]

Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei has followed up on his first dramatic metal video depicting his 81-day imprisonment in great detail with his newest release.

Shout out Miley Cyrus! I like your “We Can’t Stop” video and you are very attractive. Also, something something pop music. Since Orlan sued Gaga, getting observant about possible art references is suddenly a lot more fun. Wanna play? Pascal Bernier? Maurizio Cattelan? Christopher Chiappa? Ok, so I don’t remember where but I’ve seen these. WHO WANTS TO SOUND […]

Die Antwoord newest video for “Cookie Thumper” is all Yo Landi and directed by Ninja himself. It’s prefaced with their signature filmic exposition and then… Well, it’s rather opulent with sexy “all grown up” orphans and controversial Americana imagery to the point of a fetish.

This is just ridiculous. In a new music video for his song “Mon pote,” French rapper Flynt, née Julien Vuidard, seemingly teleports from one iconic movie scene to the next, all the while rapping in his beautiful, satiny French accent about what we can only assume is something endearingly uplifting — “mon pote” means “my buddy” […]
