Jarod Lew (1987-) is an American artist and documentary photographer based in Michigan, whose work focuses on the changing identity of Detroit. Maybe I'll see you there, captures everyday life in 'the aftermath of thecdty's decline'. Rather than deserted streets and ruined houses, which have become Detroit clichés, Lew captures the human stories of his native city.

Design: Weirdcore
Weirdcore, long-time collaborator with British electronic musician Aphex Twin (Richard James), reveals the process of making the video for the EP Collapse. Weirdcore was inspired by photographs he took of the architecture and landscapes of Cornwall, where James grew up. He also drew inspiration from Ridley Scott's film Blade Runner and 1990s graphic work by The Designers Republic, all seen through the eyes of a hallucinating android. The Collaspe video fed into the visuals for the live shows, album cover and promotional material.

Duration: 5 minutes
This short film for Greenpeace is an important use of early VJ (video jockey) software by Ninja Tunes label founder Matt Black.
With Jonathan More, he formed Hex in 1988 and used 3D modelling to create the first pop promo produced on a microcomputer.
In 1997, Black, alongside Cambridgebased developers Camart, created real-time video manipulation software VJAMM. This allows users to mix sound and images, and trigger audio and visual samples simultaneously. VJAMM technology changed live music and the evolution of music in clubs.

Music: ~cid Eiffel' by Choice In 2017, French dance-maker Gisele Vienne created Crowd, inspired by her experiences of clubbing in Berlin in the 1990s. On a dancefloor of compacted mud, 15 dancers harness the distinct movement and ecstasy of the club scene in slow motion, which is accelerated and paused at times. This dance video, If It Was Love, is a reduced version of Crowd, which premiered in the UK at Sadler's Well in 2019.

The underground ballroom scene began in the 1960s in New York's Harlem. The predominantly African American and Latina lesbian, gay and queer communities there yearned for a safe space to express their identity.
The ballroom codes established soon afterwards still exist today. Dancers join a 'house' and take part in fiercely competitive balls, where performers dance along a runway in front of judges.
Fashion, athleticism and, importantly, persona, are all judged as much as the dancing. Kiddy Smile is at the forefront of Paris's revival scene and part of the House of Ninja.
Also an electronic musician, his first single 'Let A B!tch Know' shows ballroom dancers strutting to a track that is strongly influenced by Chicago's 1980s house music scene.
