Moderat's animated video for 'Reminder' is just splendid


This video for Moderat's latest single Reminder is a great blend of Tim Burton-style cinematic stuff with dystopian strangeness. It's dark, mysterious, and beautifully animated. It reminds me a bit of Shane Acker's sci-fi film 9. The storyline of the video is as follows: 

"A rebellious teenager slaves away in a dystopian world, harvesting crystals from a vast grey landscape. This sparkling bounty is given as an offering to a tribal deity, who resides in a shrine guarded by sentinels with green glowing masks, where he is constantly under attack from an army of drones."

Want to dazzle your eyes for a few minutes? Watch the whole thing below.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Beautiful hand-crafted books by Arion Press

Anthony Bourdain visits San Francisco's Arion Press , one of the last shops in the world where an entire book is created by hand. Blocks of text are assembled from cast typefaces. Pages are printed one at a time on centuries-old letterpress printing equipment; the pages are stitched together on the spot. Two to three limited edition books are published per year. Each is conceptually unique. [h/t: Sploid ]
