I created a Riso graph animation inspired by David Bowie’s prescient 1999 BBC Newsnight interview with Jeremy Paxman. Centered on Bowie’s bold declaration that the internet is an “alien life form,” the piece juxtaposes his insights with a montage of found internet and tech advertisements from the cusp of the millennium. The Riso technique lends a tactile, retro-futuristic aesthetic, echoing the analogue-digital duality of the era. As Bowie’s words resonate across pulsating frames, the animation hints at  the tension between the Internet’s untamed potential and its commercial co-option. Alien Life Form invites viewers to reflect on the 1999 web frontier.

I also created a promotional animation for SubClub, using the same riso process to capture the “trippy” aesthetic of headliner ‘The Trip London’ for a club night. The punchy animation moves in time to one of ‘The Trip London’ s biggest hits and incorporates all of the promoters logos in a way that ties into the animation.
