Snow Factory (2006, 6.41MB, 53 secs)
Lyrical whimsy, which sounds lightweight, but isn’t.
It’s beautifully made by Steven Ball and has a strange
gravity not unreminiscent of the less dread-saturated
(I hesitate to say “more playful”) end of Kafka…or
Ben Marcus, perhaps…

Real DMB TU – Life Dress (2007, 5.2MB, 0:33)
From Anna Maria Cornelia (also known by pseudonym
Ann De Gersem), a Life Dress which allows a person
to create instant personal boundaries in public.
As a woman often bothered by unwanted attention
in public – not to mention a lover of profound design
– I am so pleased by this concept, even if the end
result might be even more unsolicited scrutiny.
The dress is featured here in a commercial for
South Korea’s mobile broadcast service, TU Media.

Can’t Tell Me Nothing (2007, 23.9MB, 5:00 min)
How good is this?
Alternative vid for Kanye West’s ‘Can’t Tell me Nothing’ with
comedian Zack Galifianakis & the wonderful Will Oldham. Exhilarating!
Found here.
Rather unusual, this: a clip from the BBC’s putative yoof
channel, BBC3, that is both funny & smart.
