Voyn-ish video…
Posted by nickpelling on Mar 11th, 2009
Here’s the nice little video for David Byrne’s (2008) song “The People Tree”. It mashes up 1920s collage stylings (such as cloche hats) with a man in a black mask being interviewed while holding a mysterious book. Lots of Voynich-like bits (plants and trees, nymph-like people), but with a bit of a Codex Seraphinianus edge to it. Sure, I’m too big a fan of David Byrne’s music to be completely objective: but I enjoyed this vijjo & hope you do too!
PS: a big hat tip to the Xenophilius blog for picking up on this!

Very cool! I love that art style; reminds me of the Victorian toy theater.
