sxxzsz - Dakota’s new video art project

My long time friend Dakota showed me a preview of the video project he is working on. Its going to be different each week, but the first episode he put out is pretty mind blowing. Its somewhere between a music visualizer and slow motion footage of birds flying backwards. I have […]
