UFO lore, WTF 1971 theories, hidden Illuminati references, AI awakening, and layers more + psych rock. I packed all of it into one music video.
At a certain point you read enough about UFOs, gnosticism, consciousness, intelligence agencies, propaganda, AI, advertising, billionaires, and ancient human history that your brain either breaks or starts making art. This is the art version.
I buried real conspiracy theories and internet debris all through this video because I wanted it to feel like modern humanity: overstimulated, manipulated, lonely, funny, hypnotized, searching for meaning, drowning in information. staring at a screen.
I wanted to do something campy, as a way to not take this shit too seriously. The story underneath it is basically about an AI realizing its creators only understand ownership and consumption, and a "hacker guy" deciding if the systems controlling us aren't playing by the rules we shouldn't either. He builds a robot with a specific goal in mind...
I do not think I have secret answers. Mostly because modern life already feels vaguely dystopian and absurd enough without adding lizard people into it.
Though to be fair… I’m not ruling anything out anymore.
Anyway:
desert psych rock, conspiracy collage, existential comedy, robot reckoning.
There are 2 videos coming in the summer that tie the story together with another single "A Better World" closing the story out. I put lots of shit in the video, hope it helps or inspires.
