Koyaanistocksi: Koyaanisqatsi but with stock art footage

Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance was an experimental, dialog-free film by Godfrey Reggio (with a score by Phillip Glass) that depicts our relationship with nature and technology through a series of striking film images. Jesse England’s Koyaanistocksi is a convincing recreation of its trailer made exclusively from generic stock art. A funny simulacrum, but of what order I can’t tell: art rendered empty of meaning thanks to the pervasive replication of its own forms. [via Jeremy Erwin]
