Now that is the most hardcore kitten rap I have ever heard.
I did not think I would write that sentence today.

What genre would Cyriak be, I'm thinking "Fractal Body Horror" would be fitting.

I have no idea how these people got their cats wedged into their cats, or why.

It's on days like this that I mourn the passing of three channel TV and 19 million strong audiences for Top Of The Pops. That would have slotted in nicely between Abba and Paper Lace.

I was just thinking "man, this is some shit Bob Howard would end up having to see" as I watched the video.

I am currently on hydrocodone following knee surgery. Please tell me that video's not actually as fucked up as it appears to me to have been.

hanov3r: it's exactly as fucked up as it appeared to you, but it isn't the most fucked up thing Cyriak has done. I will leave you to explore his youtube channel on your own. Buckle up -- it's quite a ride!

The natural conclusion of the internet, a ouroboros cat video. Combine this with the Droste video for maximum freak.

Confusingly enough, the song is called "Meowpurrdy feat. Lil Bub, Maceo, Delonte" (because those are the cats whose meows were sampled for the beat) and this is just the video for that song; there's no lil bub in the video.

(Actually, looking at the album it's "Meowpurrdy feat. Lil Bub, Maceo, Delonte, and Snoop Dogg", I'm not sure where Snoop Dogg went)

hippybear: oh, I know cyriak's work. 'malfunction' was one of the most twisted things I've ever seen. I was... hoping that this one might be different. Not something to watch stoned, apparently. :)

cyriak is, I think, one of the few artists working today who sees the world how it really is, rather than how we'd like to pretend it is. I always find myself cheered after watching one of his videos.

Not bad, but for kitten horror I still prefer the "Cat Fingers" episode of Steven Universe. I mean yeah, a hegemonizing kitten swarm is one thing, but knowing that YOU can become the kittens? That's truly disturbing.

Agreed. But I do think Google needs to let the DeepDream project go at this point.

I saw that on a random arts blog and watched it before knowing any details and thought 'Wow, this is like Insanity Level Cyriak... ' and then I found it was Insanity Level Cyriak

A couple of other recent surreal music videos (that I nearly did a post around but I may as well drop in here)
Valentino Khan - Deep Down Low
The Shoes Ft. Dominic Lord - 1960’s Horror (Probably NSFW unless you work in a chicken processing plant)

I don't think I've seen all of cyriak's work, but this is the first one I've seen with a plot. For all of his evolution, this feels like progress.
