AMBIENT DANCE PARTY - A laboratory long abandoned, on an industrial area long forgotten. The interior and exterior dilapidated. The remains of strange experiments still lying around. In other words: the best location for an ambient dance party.

The laboratory had long been abandoned. It was huge: dilapidated room after room. Ground floor, basement, tower. Corridor, staircase, tunnel. It was a labyrinth. Every now and then people would break in and explore - but was it safe?

AT THE LABORATORY - The laboratory had long been abandoned, but people remembered its location. It was huge: dilapidated room after dilapidated room. Ground floor, basement, tower. Corridor, staircase, tunnel. It was a labyrinth. Occasionally curious people would enter - but was it safe?

THE BEUYS DRIVE - When German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys passed away in 1986, it was discovered that his famous hat was a gateway for cosmic energy. Thus it became an object of adoration, as well as a new kind of power source. As a power source, it was christened "The Beuys Drive". #josephbeuys

You're on holiday and you go for a walk. But then, when you're gone, your holiday home gets an unexpected visitor. A curious alien, who has heard about the incredible taste of coffee, only available on Planet Earth. He has traversed the Galaxy to find out. And he loves it!

In the near future living tattoos, subcutaneous lights, and animated make-up will be very fashionable. Suraya, who lives today, already displays these embellishments. Isn't it awesome?

Rabbits. They have powers they don't even understand themselves. Observe the rabbit in this video. It touches the ancient wooden structure, then look what happens. Rabbit power!

She's a ballet dancer. But she's also a shapeshifter. She can morph from one appearance to another, and you hardly notice. Who is she really? What does she really look like? Is she even human?

BENTHE, the girl in this video, is an AI person. A beautiful person, but 100% software nonetheless. She herself doesn't quite believe it though. She says: "I am synthetic. But I feel so much alive. I can feel myself, so I must be alive. Don't you think?" #aivideo

(Audio) In a parallel 1960s, the Chewing Guns were the kings of happy singalong pop, outperforming competitors like the Archies, the Turtles, and the Partridge Family. Their second track on this channel is about monkeys and donkeys, pancakes and milkshakes.

I wrote a new song using AI. It's attributed to Kakashi-san and the Kyoto Kids and it's called Bubble Bobble. It's a happy song for the child in all of us. It includes the only Japanese words I know: the numbers from 1 to 10. Enjoy!
