For You Are the Prism we wanted a spacey, futuristic feeling that still felt organic. The idea that we're celebrating ourselves in a (virtual) universe that we created and curated is a running theme in this peice.
The musical compositions are designed for and inspired by Internet. Each track is short and inteded to loop continuiously in conjuntion with a particular image. In the case of You Are the Prism, the still images funtion as Play Buttons which trigger the loops, while simultaniously animating the previously-static picture.
