Hello you know about the band Massive Attack? They’re amazing. I remember finding out about them through the first Matrix movie, it’s the music Neo is listening to when you first see him there sleeping with headphones on. I bought the album that’s from (Mezzanine) and never looked back. What you’re about to see is a fantastic vision of death and destruction as circled around Massive Attack’s song “Splitting the Atom” from their album Heligoland (released 2.8.2010). This film is directed by Edouard Salier and I don’t recommend you watch it if you’re prone to easy vertigo.

So it seems that there’s going to be a book coming out soon that’s a photo recounting of the Glow In The Dark tour that happened a year and a few months ago. The tour featured Kanye West as the headliner, Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco, and N.E.R.D.. It was pretty neat. People at the concert were told basically that if they took photos they’d be shot with lazers and chopped into bits. But we did it anyway. Here’s a bunch of lovely colors for you.

This aint no Paul and Mike, this is Herrjaapmans vision for a more colorful world ala Jenny Lane’s song “Say Say Say.” Take a lovely little trot with your half-heels around the fun in the sun in this video and let loose your eyeballs at the cross-light of the stills.

WHOA watch where you throw that “furry” word there, this ain’t not cosplay. This is the world of puppetry. To be taken seriously. These are basically the guys who co-headlined a concert with Spinal Tap. These are the guys who make puppets! Such lovely puppets specifically for the high definition generation! They say so!

Oh goodie shoes. Shoes on animals. Converse hired Anomaly to do this fabulously strange ad campaign for their new customizable shoe line (no more info on this but that’s not what matter) – what matters is the wicked wildness of these strange machinations. Together and apart, I bet I know what tools they used but my goodness, my goodness it does that line credit! Discover for yourself the alternate universe of Anomaly. NOTE: not to be mistaken for the new album by Ace Frehley. Also that album is awesome. Frehley’s Comet for life.

Re-Up : In celebration of the life of musician / entertainer Michael Jackson, World Famous Design Junkies presents to you what we believe is one of the greatest internet-based tributes ever conceived: the White Glove Tracking project. This project takes Michael Jackson’s Motown 25th Anniversary performance of Billie Jean, tracks the most important part of it: the white glove, and turns it into data. Once the glove is tracked, the data can be utilized in an infinite amount of different ways. This project was initiated in 2007 and contributions continue today.

Michael Jackson’s spirit: rest in peace; your ghost in the machine will never be allowed to rest. The white glove forever!

Anthony Esquivel will make you move. He will take a little bit of color and some lines and graphics and whatnot and make it all crrraaazzzy on your face. He’s got some good animation skills, is what I’m saying to you. Anthony Esquivel is also lucky enough to have the initials AE which also makes the ash symbol: Æ. Neat. The clip above is a moment in a promo for a visual mixtape called “VYLE – Mr. Tastees Visual Mix Tape.” G in the D!

This post re-dated to April 23rd to correlate with the posting on Walker Art’s blog site.
