Beck Re-Imagines David Bowie’s “Sound & Vision”

The Hello, Again performance started with an idea — Beck would reimagine David Bowie’s classic, “Sound and Vision.” But it became more than another cover. It became an experience that presented a fresh take on the possibilities of the once familiar, for both the audience and the performers.

In collaboration with Beck and a “band” of more than 160 diverse musicians, Director Chris Milk created a concert experience that was fully immersive for both the audience and the performers. By capturing the concert with 360-degree cameras and binaural microphones, online viewers will have the opportunity to experience the show from any and every seat in the house.

Declaration, The Online Creative Archive

When you create something, you deserve credit for your contribution and peace of mind that the work will endure. That’s as true for painters, dancers, art directors, and industrial designers as it is the assistants, mangers, producers, and vendors who help bring a finished project to life. Declaration is about posterity. It’s also about ensuring that those who haven’t put in the work won’t take credit away from those who have. The cream rises. The truth will out. And transparency will ultimately rule the day.
