I also start to recognize the actors on screen, in the audience and in-character, clapping and whistling as their co-stars come on. It’s reminiscent of the vignette-style storytelling in the 1995 film Four Rooms, which features four directors, including Quentin Tarantino. The lights then go down and eleven videos are screened, beginning with “Ou La La (All Eyes On Us)” right through to the closer “Thank You For The Experience - Live.” Celine Teo-Blockeyĭirected by photographer Parker Day-known for her saturated colors, comic-book quality style and disregard for retouches-each video introduces us to a new color-coded character in a different themed room. In the small screening room, Ocean says he wants to expose people to raw, creative energy: “To experience that rush of having an idea.” He encourages everyone in the room to keep playing with their ideas. Since moving to Los Angeles, Ocean’s enjoyed “surfing at the beach and making music”: his dream life. Apparently there are no cars on the 30-mile small island and residents choose to walk around barefoot, toes in the sand. The 33-year-old grew up on Fire Island, a tiny barrier island off the southern coast of Long Island, in New York. They are all here for the visual screening of Vibe City Utah, the new album by NVDES, the laptop punk project of Josh Ocean. It’s days before Halloween but you know this is not fancy dress.
A girl with flowing, picture-book bright yellow locks and another dressed as a ‘50s Sheffield mom – in a wind scarf (a throwback bonnet that keeps coiffed hair in place) and factory-blue trench. There’s a guy dressed in a fetching vinyl ensemble. Above the chatter and excitement, I spot someone with a tuft of neon green hair to go with their neon pants and clashing floral top. A pick-and-mix candy assortment of the most colorful and bubbly folks are assembled outside the lobby area at YouTube Space, in Los Angeles.
