With bursts of neon cones and discs against a black void, clips from graphic artist [MELTMIRROR’s](https://vimeo.com/meltmirror?ref=hyperallergic.com) newest music video suggest what [Kandinsky](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Vassily%5FKandinsky,%5F1926%5F-%5FSeveral%5FCircles,%5FGugg%5F0910%5F25.jpg?ref=hyperallergic.com) might’ve come up with had he been able to experiment with 3D modeling. Created using Cinema 4D Studio for South Korea–based producer [Sima Kim’s](http://simakim.bandcamp.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com) electronic track “If You Feel Like Me,” the graphics sync with the glitchy remix of a clip from Brandy and Monica’s “[The Boy Is Mine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va1Y6uAgNJY&ref=hyperallergic.com).” In a smartphone-inspired vertical video format, a rippling pink Mobius strip unfurls; globs of what looks like Mercury turn into dancing limbs and muscles; and the cryptic message “DELAY YOUR PERFECT HEALTH” flashes between strobing colors. It’s partly a synesthetic visualization of relationships between sound and color, shape and rhythm, and partly a reflection on the fusion of the digital and the human, with abstracted anatomical renderings turning into floating cyborg bodies and back.
