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?

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

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.

Watching this video makes me feel like a tiny and trivial organism in the face of nature's relentless power.
