I saw this article on NPR and had to share it with you all...
The members of How To Destroy Angels, a collective featuring Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, his wife and singer Mariqueen Maandig, art director Rob Sheridan and the brilliant composer Atticus Ross, have an unambiguously grim view of where civilization is headed. In a new video for the song "How Long," from the band's upcoming album Welcome Oblivion, man hunts man in a terrifying, dystopian future.
The video
was created and directed by the London-based visual arts collective Shynola.
While there are only three characters in the short film, it speaks volumes
about our reptilian instincts for survival.
In a joint email, the members of
Shynola say they "had a great conversation where the band articulated
their ideas about modern identity, the effect of technology on culture and our
inability to connect with others. We're fascinated by anthropology and
coincidentally we had been toying with ideas for a feature film about a
post-technology civilization, in which humans have reverted to primitive
behavior. Sometimes things just fit together."
