Technology Puppets

'My Yoko Ono' music video for Danish pop duo Reptile Youth, humours topics like genetic manipulation and designer babies, suggesting that we are 'Puppets of technology' entrusting the internet to archive our secrets. 

“What do you get with 37 Hyper Island students, 2.5 days and an image of Willy Wonka’s Oompa Loompa factory?”

A collaboration with Lucy McRae, Reptile Youth and 37 motion graphic students from Hyper Island resulted in a video that entertains the concept that we are operated by a higher order, becoming ‘Puppets of technology’. Opening with a medical journal, referencing parents thumbing through a baby catalogue (selecting their perfect child), we switch between worlds to the duo being birthed in an incubator; all operated by the hands Hyper Islanders who rotate facial expressions and manipulate skin types.
