Encyclopedia Pictura is hitting all the right notes again and again with its music videos. They first came to my attention with the excellent Grizzly Bear ‘Knife’ video, and they’ve recently completed a 3-D Bjork video. Most striking to me is the 2007 video for Seventeen Evergreen’s ‘Haven’t Been Yourself‘ which combines viscous ferrofluids, high-resolution nature photography, and faux-naked revelers in a pit of mud the color of chocolate Silly Putty. Also check out the Charles and Ray Eames ‘Power of Ten’-reminiscent video of fruits as atoms, strings, molecules, etc called Micro/Macro.

Wow! Hadn’t seen his more recent ones. Didn’t he also do the FM-simulcast onto headphones at a concert thing before Flaming Lips?
Dunno what you’re talking about. Not that hip.
You know about the &fmt=18 high quality youtube modifier, right?
Do wha? So I add that string to the ed of the url for a high res version of a youtube video? If so, rad.
Flaming lips played synchornized sounds over an FM transmitter during a show and handed out headsets so you could listen to the synced “extra sounds” and the concert itself at the same time.
