The visuals for Massive Attack’s song United Snakes were originally designed for the band’s live show at Beck’s Fusions festival in Manchester in September 2008, but they have also been made available online as a music video.
Starting with rigid black and white stars and stripes, United Snakes quickly shifts to more organic shapes. The creation of these spontaneous forms was made possible by ‘sketching’ the outlines using Openframeworks software, developed by Dave Ferner who worked for UVA for several years.
