The Times - "The aptly named Mega Super Awesome Visuals Company eventually makes selective use of every available surface as a screen upon which to project a dazzling variety of digital graphics, from animated landscapes and pulsating lights to oozing liquid and raging flames."

The Guardian - "Es Devlin's clever set, constructed from piles of boxes, cupboards, TV screens and doors, gives the dancers plenty of levels to move on, and, better still, functions as a three-dimensional screen on which the lighting and video team can project their most astonishing effects. A B-boy trio performing against images of melting snow acquire a rare luminous purity; Lizzie Gough (also a finalist from So You Think You Can Dance) becomes a fiercely demonic figure, conjuring a kaleidoscopic storm of flashing light."

Financial Times - "Here is the most blissfully energetic, sassy, to- hell-with-everything-except-street-dance show. And it is superbly designed by Es Devlin ... Devlin has, tremendously, placed the action against a wall of grey, office-equipment- suppliers’ drawers and the occasional ice-box and a single bath. These serve as background, exits, launching pads for dance. There is stunning lighting by Patrick Woodroffe and Adam Bassett, and amazing video projections."

H by Harris

Launched at 1 Year On pop up exhibition and celebrating H by Harris A/W 2010 line. "Fixed" by Director Manny Bonett is a viral campaign featuring some of the UK's finest fixed gear cyclists.
Fixed features H by Harris A/W collection worn by a sartorial gang of riders styled by Harris Elliott. Spiralling the ramps of a car park somewhere in Peckham SE London the riders gracefully perform stunts and create a beautiful film with energy that has you on the edge, uncertain of what to expect next..

P.S. It's an old post but I didn't catch the message about it being on vimeo until now. This dad life video could make up for it though.

Onra:Long Distance

"Overall, the music is simple but remarkably effective – punchy kicks and obnoxiously reverb-heavy snares and hand claps form banging catchy drum loops. The bass grooves are repetitive, always funky and precisely in-the-pocket, and the head-nodding rhythms are flawlessly laced with suitable sample chops, warm pads and silky synth lines. Long Distance is absolutely jam-packed with good vibes and is definitely an essential for the clubs and parties!" says justlikemusic.com A good description but the sounds through the speakers do this album even more justice.

With the exception of owning pigs and cultivating sago, the Mentawai are hunter/gatherers looked after with devotion by their medicine men- the Sikeri, or Shamans. These are the healers of the tribe, who practice a form of animism called Jarayak.

UP THERE

Commissioned by Stella Artois, The Ritual Project tells the untold story of a group of craftsmen dedicated to the almost-lost tradition of hand painted advertising. High above the New York City streets, this beautifully shot documentary brings to life the incredibly skilful and demanding craft of wall painting a once prevalent form of advertising now barely sustained by just a handful of artists. Working for up to 30 hours at a time, often in appalling weather conditions, it’s the dedication of these artists that leaves the lasting impression from this poignant film.

Watch till it ends.
