Don’t miss these amazing new visuals for Liturgy‘s track “Quetzalcoatl“, off The Ark Work, out now on Thrill Jockey. The video is directed and produced by the Japanese-based group AUJIK, a self-described “esoteric sect who believes in animism and worships nature”; and while their claims to create “sacred artefacts that are a crossbreed of organic and synthetic entity”, each a “unique and multifaceted Artificial Intelligence (AI)”, sound wild and possibly over-blown, “Quetzalcoatl”‘s stunning imagery matches their far-out claims. Using a triptych of screens to depict it’s single captivating shot, and looking like some animated and diabolical etching from the Northern Renaissance painter Albrecht Dürer, we see two robed figures staring up into a gaping cataract of light with rapt attention, as a cavalcade of winged beings (or are they serpents) spins before them in a mesmerizing cyclone. Truly, a visual work of extraordinary imagination and numinous beauty!
