Polybius

source: merececomentario

O novo vídeoclipe do músico Julian Corrie foi feito todo baseado na tecnologia vintage. Em “Polybius”, Julian tira as notas para sua música com sons de um Atari, um Mega Drive, um Commodore 64, disquetes, e outros aparelhos antigos que com certeza muitos adoravam. O clipe foi dirigido por James Houston e produzido por Bold Yin.”

James Houston je možda kome ostao u maglovitom sjećanju sa svojim prvim poznatim uratkom Big Ideas: Don’t Get Anzy, kada je inspiriran pjesmom Radioheada – Nude istu odsvirao korištenjem Sinclair ZX Spectruma, mreže tvrdih diskova, Epson matrični pisač i HP-ov skener. Houston i dalje radi na sličnim projektima, a najsvježiji je Polybius.

Novi uradak je nostalgična pjesma u kojoj je surađivao sa pjevačem Julianom Corriem. Spot je smješten u isušeni bazen prepun retro opreme, igara, periferije, računala i konzola iz starih vremena. SEGA Mega Drive, Commodore 64, floppy pogoni i diskovi su se ujedinili pod MIDI kontrolerom da bi bili opjevani – kako oni kao komadi opreme, tako možda i neki stari prijatelji. Pjesma je prilično kratka, a ostavlja tek želju za još dok komadi prastare opreme odrađuju zadnje note.

James Houston’s background as a sculptor helped shape and influence his graphic photographic style. Australian born, Houston celebrates beauty and the human form, creating sensual iconic portraits and international campaigns for L’Oreal Paris, GAP, Donna Karan, Hugo Boss and Givenchy.
New York based Houston balances his career with passion projects that make a difference in the community. Five award winning international books have been published on his work. Houston’s book MOVE (PowerHouse Books), was created to benefit various HIV/AIDS charities and raised close to US$500,000 from sales and launch events. The book project, titled MOVE FOR AIDS was launched in 2006 with the support of Elton John, Hugh Jackman, Baz Luhrmann and Sarah Murdoch.
While working on MOVE FOR AIDS, Houston was shocked to learn about American attitudes towards adolescent sexuality and the impact it has on U.S. teens. This discovery inspired Houston to raise over 1 million dollars to fund his first feature documentary titled, LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX (www.letstalkaboutsexthefilm.com). The Award winning film takes a revealing look at how American attitudes towards adolescent sexuality affect today’s teenagers. LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX aired nationally on the TLC network in April, 2011 with the goal of helping parents and communities understand the importance of honest and open communication.
For his latest photographic project, Natural Beauty, Houston turns his eye to nature for inspiration with the goal to raise awareness for the environment and funds for environmental non profit Global Green USA. In collaboration with MILK, Houston shot a series of striking portraits of some of the world’s leading models and celebrities. These captivating photographs, bring together two of Houston’s great passions – the human form and the natural world. Natural Beauty launched at MILK Gallery NYC April 2013. Houston also directed a web series on the ‘making of’ Natural Beauty as well as several film installations for the exhibition.
In his photography, James Houston creates a dialogue between the beauty of the human body and the changing forms of nature. Color and shapes meet in an almost sensorial experience. you can feel the heat and the touch just from looking at the images.” – Stefano Tonchi, Editor in Chief, W Magazine.
