Breaking up like the signal on my digital cable.

So this is really just great. It's really simple, but you'll notice it has three generations of technologically dependant distortions, the type of little things (digital aliasing, projector flickering) that draw you out of the experience of watching. Which is right on theme, his heart breaky detachment from what's good and real and happy and junk. (His angst and this video are So. Post. Modern). But also so savvy and aware of how people watch videos now! And subtle. Almost too subtle, like you think it really is that distorted, like you're watching a bad copy. But you're not. That's just like HOW HE FEELS.

Brilliant.
