Came Back Haunted

The unholy union of Nine Inch Nails and David Lynch yields this willfully nightmarish clip for NIN's new single. An eye peeling montage of strobing stills, vibrating close-ups and unsettling edits perfectly drives NIN's propulsive, insistent story of technological possession. Given the almost endless number of music clips released it is curious that so few of them marry sound and image this successfully. A big screen and headphones are recommended.

"Surveillance and observation. The human sciences keep watch, the exact sciences observe. The first ware as old as myths; the others are born with us and are as new as history. Myth, theatre, representation and politics do not teach us to observe, they commit us to surveillance. "
- Michel Serres, 1986, The Five Senses
