Cool Hunting
How to describe yeastCulture? They are Mark Silver and Nick Hillel. They make stunning music videos for the likes of Nitin Sawhney and Jamie Cullum. In fact, they came up with the live visuals currently accompanying the aforementioned jazz-Hobbit on his North American tour. They can do it off-the-cuff too, and have VJ'd for artists as varied as the Beastie Boys and Matthew Herbert, and also at the Big Chill. They'll be pulling out all the stops as part of the BBC's Electric Proms here in London later this month, when they'll be VJing for three nights. They've just come up with their new website too, where you can see loads of exquisite examples of their work and a smattering of their personal politics. That's where you'll also be able to get the Yeast Book that they're giving away for free that features their images and ideas.
That's yeastCulture. One thing they're not is lazy.

As the program's...

Production luminaries Peking—whose Greg Mitnick often collaborates with CH on our videos— collaborating with NYC-based artist Snejina Latev, recently premiered a new music video for Here We Go Magic that's fronted by recording artist Luke Temple. Temple's melodic vocals in “Tunnelvision” interweave over a layers of rhythmic electronica folk, which Peking compliments with soft-focus kaleidoscopic imagery. Since its online debut, the track has won...
Back in March 2008, aniBoom, the online home of animation, teamed up with Radiohead's TBD Records for a contest inviting fans and animators to create a video for any of the songs from the band's wildly successful album, In Rainbows. From over 1,000 storyboard submissions, roughly 200 clips were produced and whittled down to 15 semi-finalists. Thom Yorke was quoted on w.a.s.t.e. saying, "......
