    All it takes is less than a second for the mind to recognize pop culture icons, and familiar imagery. This artist breaks down those images into their most basic features, and displays each in an incredibly short loop. Just enough time for your eyes to recognize what you've seen.
    One of the most fantastic animations I've seen in a while! truly incredible, I hope the absolute best for the future of this artist.

Now you close your eyes again and you see patterns forming, spiral or some shit and you go ahead and play some music and you found out that the music is too intense so you find a song that is slow and no sudden high pitches. So you lay down again and get carried away with your thoughts, seeing patterns, colors, visual tracings and seeing objects with meaning. Then you check your time, shit its been 6 minutes?

    I believe this video is trying to portray that all idea, whether it be the most blissful, carnal, and concrete thoughts come from the same place as the distraught, Savage, menacing thoughts. They're two sides of the same coin, one subject with two extremes, and that subject is expressed in all of us in different ways; yet it is all the same thing.
    Life is Sex, by the way, if you haven't noticed yet. That's why there's so much imagery of it.

    I see this as how some pieces of art help an artist to form another. Like,admiration leads one to inspiration. But sometimes that inspiration leaves so much ink in another',s creation that we come to see more equals than diferents. That's when we start to look to deep into somethings...trying to see relations where there is none,just to call It theft.
    But in the end,every art is the same,and one of a kind,at the same time.
    Love and theft.
    Love something. Let it inspire you to create something your own. See people call It theft.

    I think this symbolises how simple our interpretation of the world was before media, then after the creation of media, and more more and more information being crammed in both intentionally and subliminally, our subconscious minds mirror these affects and it changes our general understanding of the world. this is mirrored in the animation style, how you feel you just saw something you recognised, yet it's wisked away immediately. wonderful animation

    I had to view this video twice to sort of take it all in. To me, this video visually conceptualizes - Life. It begins with the joining of the chromosomes and the embryonic cells developing into an infant. You see the development of the child, with all of his/her innoncence, eventually grow into adolescence and struggle between the letting-go-of the innocence to join the league of adulthood - the "Big Leagues" if you will. This all yields itself to the inevitable rigors that one deals with and works through during adulthood - the struggle of self & identity, the pain of loss, the living with stress and worry, etc. But it's not all bad. The man - or woman - finds a partner, or a love, or a passion, builds a family, and carries out it's legacy, serving it's primal purpose on Earth. It closes with the bittersweet, yet inevitable, truth we all know will come to all of us - death. But with this I take away a feeling of joy in knowing that I can share experiences with others and impart my ideas, beliefs, etc. But I'd love to hear everyone else's take on this. It is - after all - art, & is meant to open a table for discussion. - Andres

      I understand what you want to say
      For me , the video makes me thiink at : 0.48 : The birth and when a baby cry and scream for the first time of his life.
      0.52: The baby grows up and go to nursery school at 2 or 3 years old. He learns about the difference between boys and girls. Hello Kitty is like that a little girl and Charlie Brown a little boy.
      0.56: Mickey , Spiderman , Goofy: the child is interested in cartoon hero and go to parks like Disneyland. These heroes help him build his imagination.
      0.59 : It makes me think at a bull with an only eye or Monsters and Cie 's film logo. Some childs made bad dreams with monsters.
      1.02 : Dead of grand parents who who takes care of the child and that the child liked. Because there are too a skull.
      1.03: Children's stupidity and parents who get angry at him
      but when his parents are friendly and funny.
      The loss of his first baby tooth.
      First year at primary school.
      1.07 :10 years old girls , because she wants to choose her clothes and choose her look.
      But too the puberty , when the little girl became a woman.
      1.11 : Maybe the teenager girl thinks she is very old or ugly, anorexia, sometimes smoke drugs,......
      Or the parents who become old and with exaggeration of the point of view of teenager.
      1.14; Emotions in adolescence: moving from anger to sadness (depression depression, boredom, weariness, exhaustion) to aggressive and dangerous behavior that can put parents in a rage: they fear for their child.
      1.19 : The pink panther : when a when a teen feels nice
      a clown when she is in good spirits.
      .

    It made me cry because I interpreted this as illustration of your childhood (everything goes as it's supposed to be), your puberty and teenage period (everything's getting worse and worse and you're emotional heath is agonizing in crazy forms) and then you can't stand it anymore and you see some memories in blue colour and finally pass away
    And then we see some warm and beautiful word that you could reach if you had enough support during your teenage period
    Omg I'm dead

    This reminds me of when i first saw this video high as a kite. I was a junior in high school and i had been smoking for about half a year at that point in my life. I showed it to my friends and it was an amazing experience. 10 years later and i dont have a clue how these guys are doing. I sure hope life is treating them well, i miss the good days of smoking and chilling.

    From simple cartoons to radicalized versions of them (possibly a representation of drug usage),
    wild sexual desires to the sensational bonding of sex and last but not least; "forming" love and family...

      That's very similar to my interpretation. All that's missing is the use of conspiracy symbolism. My interpretation of it is that it represents our desire to "fight the power", brought on by our inner demons and our knowledge of the dark side of corporations. I also interpret the symbolism merging with the characters, leading to a half Mickey Mouse/half Adolf Hitler screaming at us to represent how we let it get in the way of our childlike wonderment and sense of imagination, causing us to resent certain works and characters.

    I've been coming back to this video for years now and every single time that it gets to the part where everything goes blank and silent my entire body turns into chills. Then the ending makes me cry and leaves my hands and feet tingling.
    I feel this sense of simultaneous sadness and ultimate beauty. A sort of deep understanding that I cannot explain with words. There is something primordial being expressed here, something long forgotten but ever present. For me, anyway.

    I see this as a journey through a man forming his identity, starting with crying, moving on to cartoons, then progressively more adult or edgy cartoons, then ideas of sex and religion and politics, then learning about the horrors of WW2 causes this person to revert back to the comfort of childhood joys. This person loops like that, trying to enjoy cartoons until the cruelty of the world is too much, going on like that a few times as the kids grows up and becomes more mentally and emotionally complex. Color comes in more when the young adult breaks that cycle and starts looking for women. When he finds his first girlfriend they are connected, but as is often the case, they break up, forming two different people in the process. Time skip a little, and this new version of himself is now experiencing his life with this other new person where his simple joys are mirrored with a viewpoint different than his own, making the old things he enjoys more complex and new in a way, seeing it through her eyes. Life goes on that way until he's old and looking back on his life. He realizes that a person is a mix of themselves and what is reflected in the eyes of others, before passing away fulfilled by the knowledge. Or something. That's the story I make in my head when I watch it, anyway.
