HotWheelsaaqatsi - Life out of the Toybox

First thing I thought when I saw Chris Burden's "Metropolis 2" clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Q6berM0j0 it was 'OMG it's Koyaanissqtsdtqtstqtaayayaaaasttqaaqatsi or whatever that arty-farty film is called'. Well no, that's a lie... it was more like jealousy that I couldn't have that hot wheels track when I was a kid. Anyways, just add a little Philip Glass... and presto!

Why isn't the artist credited on this video? This is Chris Burden's artwork, "Metropolis 2" and Eric Zeeman's video footage. And me and my crew built the thing. As for the cars, they are neither HotWheels or Matchbox. They are all custom manufactured.

@znc1969 this is obviously a spoof or joke on the original; read what I wrote above. Chris Burden is credited at the end but his name was the only name (apart from the music I used) I could locate from the original clip - which I also linked above.

I thought I read that the cars are Matchbox, not Hot Wheels? They don't look like Hot Wheels.

@timrs2001 I honest have no cluse what they are. But I went with Hot Wheels probably for two reasons: 1) I'm North American and most of us identify with hot wheels over matchbox cars. 2) I had a hot wheels font

reminded me of koyannisqatsi as well. has that same sort of philip glass feel. as well as Baraka if anyone's seen that. movies like that are great

Brilliant. That's the first thing I thought of too! It has that similar feeling of being overwhelmed.
