Philipp Virus, 1994-1999, 70 min
To
say that Philipp Virus simply "makes music videos" is like saying that
Charles Manson "had a magnetic personality." Longtime collaborator with
Alec Empire, Atari Teenage Riot and other Digital Hardcore artists,
this crafty young Kraut has a killer knack for mixing and warping his
images into both relentless pixel-driven blitzkriegs and soft electro-atmospheric
visual environments, like an uncontrollable mood engine set to bipolar.
With a techno-fetishist science-fiction inflection and a gleefully transgressive
punk rock soul, Virus has such an advanced ability to engage his audiences
with hypnotic, controlling fervor that it's kinda scary he's German.
Lucky for Western civilization, he's fully anti-authority, a pure proponent
of eternal artistic revolution. --New York Underground Film Festival
