Two music videos are better than one

When the vocals kick in at the start, you somehow have no idea where the song is going. Then the drums come in, the beat picks up, and suddenly it makes sense. KAZU's Come Behind Me, So Good! is an appropriate track to accompany a pharmacological nightcap. But even if you don't care for the actual song, the music video is a visual feast, taking advantage of several recent breakthroughs in technology.

The behind-the-scenes processes that went into making this video are just as fascinating as its visuals, so director Daito Manabe shared a breakdown of the techniques they used in choreography, CGI, and photogrammetry, which reconstructs 3D data from 2D still images taken from multiple angles.

Kazu Makino, the iconic voice of the shoegaze/dream pop group Blonde Redhead, released the first version of her video for Come Behind Me, So Good! on September 12, 2019. It was shot in Italy by the award-winning director Eva Michon and features the songstress dancing inside a small church.

Which one do you think is better?

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

These grotesque porcelain sculptures might give you nightmares

Art doesn't just have to be colorful flowers, sunsets and unicorns – there is artistry in the grotesque as well. Jason Briggs , a Tennessee-based nightmare creator, makes surreal and fucked-up ceramic sculptures of the human body that exist on the boundary between horror and beauty.

Japanese artist En Iwamura creates adorable ceramic sculptures

Kyoto-born artist En Iwamura is showing his latest ceramic creations in a special show on August 31 at the Ross+Kramer Gallery in East Hampton, New York. En's sculpted objects, which he describes as three-dimensional clay doodling, exudes nothing but good vibes with their quirky, playful style. He consciously uses childhood influences such as manga and anime, and draws inspiration from both American and Japanese historical and pop-cultural references along with his own life experiences. Born in 1988, En completed both his BFA and MFA in craft from Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2011 and 2013, respectively. His works have been shown in New York City, Seattle, Kansas City, Durham, NC, Japan, Canada, China and more. Thanks for the tip, Rachel.
