THE ROAD
(HURTS/SONY/BUG FESTIVAL)
Music video for Hurts 'The Road' following a man quickly falling into hallucinogenic insanity. Illusions continually appear before him and reality increasingly disappears before his eyes. The world literally dissolves and falls apart; he is driven mad by inner demons until they manifest in reality. The hallucinations increase as he tries to find solace in the city - in fact, finding the opposite. Eventually he is driven to such a dark state of madness that he tries to run home and hide - but cannot, and instead himself falls apart and disappears.

NOISE
If the phones from which most already cannot be pried were to evolve into our anatomy, what would we become? Tweeting-texting-cyborgs? What if we were unable to interact on a personal or emotional level, except via text-based communication? If interpersonal communication was written in code, projected from our bodies like physical 'tweets' on behalf of our mind, would evolution would render our mouths useless? Would speech, expression, and touch become obsolete? When everything is shared, tweeted, followed, and clicked, do even the biggest moments simply get lost in a sea of inane vanity, noise, and triviality?
