Kryptic minds, Leon Switch & Skitty - Drifting Away

Director: David Bailey. The video is a visual journey through the globalised society we live in. Using news footage, our common medium for interpreting the world; it juxtaposes both capitalist and communist images, showing the common factor of depersonalization and deferred life plan which exist within both, where value systems are forged by propaganda and advertising. Magic pill obsessed societies chasing the gold at the end an imaginary rainbow, never satisfied but for a fleeting moment with the present.




Images are heavily stylized and manipulated making the familiar unfamiliar. We are led through the mythical stock market of abstract numbers to the brutal crushing of demonstrations in China. A man made chaos to which the world subscribes.

The idea that the ends justify the means communism, get rich or die trying capitalism. There is a similarity. Nothing wrong with working hard or liking nice things just dont become hypnotised by the BS believing you can find fulfilment in some carrot on a stick ideology that will have you running in

Read the the video info! I'm not suggesting we should all become religous, Or that money is all bad.

Point is people worship it like a religion. Saw on the news a man stamped to death in the sales over in the states! The current F up in the stock exchange.etc etc.

circles.
