Pablo Martin

Britta Johnson (video director for Andrew Bird, among others) brings Lusine gorgeous single Two Dots to life, illustrating the songs relationships-as-trigonometry analogy in an intricately animated video. In the clip, a pair of marbles—one blue, one yellow—engage in the timeless dance of seduction on a horizontal plain, mapping the ups and downs of a courtship through pencil-drawn geometric principles. Like Two Dots, Johnsons video lives in the middle ground between technology and humanity, emotional immediacy and obsessive detail.
This song happened almost unnoticed when it was launched in mid-2009, until Nic Fanciulli realize an excellent and powerful remix without losing the sweetness and subtlety of the original version.
