newyorker:

The most remarkable use of screens I’ve seen recently was at a Portishead show in October. The band finished their world tour two weekends ago, in Australia, and the band’s visual director, John Minton, agreed to answer questions and provide the one-minute collage you see below. What you see [above] isn’t footage of the show—it’s a sample of the visuals that appear behind the band as they play.
