Was reminded of this tour promo for 2012 GoldenAxe / Amdiscs today. Why did the internet seem much more enjoyable then??

Late last year was among the 150+ visual artists asked to contribute to Coldplay's A Film For the Future. Made this little video with dancer Alana Yee, to accompany a sliver of the song AETERNA. Thinking about rebooting ReBoot 💻
