Lucy McRae for Robyn's Indestructible

Array

Gear  |  Video




Robyn's 'Indestructible' music video showcases a project that started over two years ago generating dynamic textiles made from liquid, air and vapor. 1.2 kilometres of transparent plumbing tubing was knitted with fishing wire to skin Robyn's body. 40 litres of glycerol pumps through over a kilometre of tube, powered by drill pumps that connect to valves releasing air intermittently between the liquid. Gradient colors pulse through the tubes at different speeds, the effect is a living, breathing dynamic skin that traverses the landscape of the body. 
The tubes were conceived of by Lucy McRae. The making of video is more interesting than the music video itself. Cool idea!
