Money Is the One True God

This is an excellent track and a wonderful video. The song is by Blake Mills and the animation is by Lachlan Turczan, who says, "I made hi-resolution scans of banknotes from 23 countries ranging from the 1800s to the modern-day."

Watch at full screen.

Turczan continues, "Machine learning was used to further enhance these scans so that I could zoom in on the intricacies of the engravings. Using replacement animation techniques, the guilloché patterns wash over the viewer in a barrage of linework and geometry. Iconic scenes throughout history are also shown: the age of exploration leads to industrialization, wonders of the world are replaced by office buildings and icons of freedom stand in stark contrast to images of slavery. The project culminates with the collective eyes of all world leaders staring back at the audience."
