Xavier Chassaing’s Scintillation
by This stunningly gorgeous film by Xavier Chassaing was pieced together from about 35,000 still photographs, allowing for depth-of-field changes impossible with motion film. To up the wow factor, Chassaing, with the the help of Mathieu Cablet, used projection mapping to make the flowers look like they are exploding with living light.

Metronomy are a cool little London-based group headed by producer and remix extraordinaire, Joseph Mount. The sound sits somewhere between Autechre and Vitalic: clanging keyboards and body-gurning beats laced with an undercurrent of ominous electronica. It’s not as inaccessible as much of the more twisted electro-based stuff out there at the moment, although it retains an edge perhaps unpalatable for some ears. Yet there’s a catchiness to it that is clearly roping in the crowds: their live shows are a spectacle, complete with synchronised dancing and flashing costumes. If that floats your boat, they’re playing for free at the Tate Britain, London, on 27 September.
