  • good vid

  • I love Len Lye, and I love Trade Tattoo. He once told me "Never get blocked." And he demonstrated that by taking whatever came his way and turning into discovery, revelation and celebration. Thus this "commercial" for the G.P.O. mail service becomes a classic in which the augmented reality of Len's mind paints a deeper and more joyful meaning on everything done and seen every day.

  • I've posted a much higher quality version of it here - search BartConway's videos for the link....

  • This used to be shown at the Museum of the Moving Image in South Bank, London. Made a huge impression on me as a kid. Amazing what you can find on Youtube!

  • "INDIVIDUAL

    HAPPINESS

    NOW!"

    Thank you, Len Lye!

  • That's where I saw it too! Amazing, how Lye came up with such graphics decades before MTV.

  • don't forget Oskar Fischinger... also ahead of his time.

  • I remember catching this one on International Animation Festival, hosted by Jean Marsh, back in the 70s. Awesome!

  • yehh thats why he alwayz has to sit on the corner by himself, dnt wnt him gtin close lmaoo
