We Love Our Work – shape+colour

we love our work: revenge + color correcting.

I first started following We Love Our Work (the artistic collaboration of Lernert Engelberts and Sander Plug) after “CDEFGABC”, their colourful, crystal-rubbing rendition of “No Limits” for MTV Europe.

Their latest, “Revenge”, shows a harrowing day in the life of an egg.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Continuing on the whole colour-obsession tip, their 2008 short “Color Correcting” compiles into a 4-minute short the 9 hours they spent separating a pile of multi-coloured Discodip ice cream sprinkles into it’s individual colours. They scary part is that after 9 hours the original pile basically looks exactly the same…

I’m sure there are arguments as to why I shouldn’t find this so fascinating, but I don’t give a shit. I’m fascinated.

mtv europe + we love our work: cdefgabc (no limit).

Vids like this make life worth living. MTV Europe commissioned We Love Our Work (the collaboration of Lernert Engelberts and Sander Plug) to create “CDEFGABC”, a completely kick ass vid of the two guys playing 2unlimited’s god-awful early techno hit “No Limit” on a glass harp. For real. Engelberts and Plug spent 8 weeks learning how to play the the old skool instrument. The resulting vid is sublime in it’s artsy, baroque/techno food-colouring filled randomness.
