"Money" is a completely AWESOME music video of a track by
N.A.S.A. (
North America South America), a DJ collective featuring
Squeak E. Clean and
DJ Zegon plus many famous guest artists, including, on this track alone, David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, & Z-Trip. (Other tracks by N.A.S.A. feature the likes of Tom Waits, M.I.A., Gift of Gab and Kool Keith.) The video features the artwork of
Shepard Fairey, who has
been discussed previously here. The video was directed by Paul Griswold and
Syd Garon (who also did
this great video for DJ Qbert and
this one for Dan the Automator, which features some nice Gilliamesque touches.)

Propaganda is now officially hip.
Barack Obama's presidential campaign has
struck a
palette with those interested in good, effective design.
Shepard Fairey was recently given the opportunity to create a
screenprinted poster for Obama's campaign, which sold out quite quickly. Next, his campaign turns to artist Scott Hansen, aka
ISO50 for his visual art and
Tycho for his music. Mr. Hansen's
poster employs his idealistic and nostalgic style, yet more direct than his typical dreamy work. It's quite lovely.
