[PS012] “dustmotes – Beats for the Subverted – annica” Official Video

Directed and Edited by: Rita Monteiro @ PublicSpaces Lab.

Rita Monteiro as been with us at the Lab for quite sometime. She is the quiet person behind all the images that you can see on the website, responsible for many of the artwork on our releases that she works on while still managing the office of other side of PublicSpaces (the Sonic Environments one).

I sent the challenge to Rita on a Friday night regarding making a video for Paul’s EP and the answer was immediate: “Sure, you will have it by tomorrow. There is something I have been trying to experiment with for quite sometime now.” And so it was. To me, Rita truly embodies the spirit of what we try to do at the Lab and for that I am thankful to be able to work alongside so many wonderful people.

The video itself, black and white footage edited with a sensational attention to the detail, full of glitches and mashups, gives another dimension to the the already fabulous work of Paul Croker. When I read on Twitter “Honestly one of the more tantalizing and odd vids I’ve seen in a long time. Congrats to whoever did it.” I am proud of this team we have and feel thankful to all the artists that have trusted us their amazing works. We will keep trying to surprise all of you (yes James, we have a surprise for you as well) and doing our best to make your music reach new and interested audiences. That is our objective.
