MoMA | Kraftwerk – Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Over eight consecutive nights, MoMA presents a chronological exploration of the sonic and visual experiments of Kraftwerk with a live presentation of their complete repertoire in the Museum’s Marron Atrium. Each evening consists of a live performance and 3-D visualization of one of Kraftwerk’s studio albums—Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans-Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991), and Tour de France (2003)—in the order of their release. Kraftwerk will follow each evening’s album performance with additional compositions from their catalog, all adapted specifically for this exhibition. This reinterpretation showcases Kraftwerk’s historical contributions to and contemporary influence on global sound and image culture. I kind of want to go to one of these shows… but I doubt I will find someone even half-interested enough in nerdy computer music that would want to go with me. :’(

This short clip/documentary was done beautifully. The part I love most is how it was shot almost as if it were part of a photojournalism piece, but instead of still photography it was done in video. The color grading and soundtrack also takes you back in time quite a bit. I look forward to more clips in the thismustbetheplace series.

I have decided to make an effort to bring back my 1 video per week project!! This is the perfect first video for cycle #2.

If you’ve never heard of Emily King, well… now you know. Listen and buy (it is WELL worth it!) her EP here.

P.S. Apologies for the not-so-perfect audio… I’m working with what I got for now. :)

I’m going to try this “1 video per week” thing. I swear I’m getting better with the settings but this one’s rather blurry if you full screen it. The next video will be way better, I swear.
