The 1975 performing at Pitchfork Paris 2019 (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)
The 1975 and director Ben Ditto have joined forces with fourteen different artists to curate a unique exhibition centered on their recent Notes On A Conditional Form album.
The exhibition takes the form of a YouTube playlist and is viewable on the band’s official website, the artists working across a range of mediums such as 3D modelling, AI, generative animation, motion-capture and performance to create a visual story for each of the tracks on an album which Live4ever summed up as a, ‘highly thought provoking, impactful’ one:
“Not just because of the candour of its personality, or that it shows how one of the world’s biggest acts continue to pursue a unique take on the responsibilities of stardom,” the review reads.
“The truth is simple: on it you can hear The 1975 redefining what it is to be a rock band in the 21st century, going where they want, making their imperfections count. It would be a radical departure if the concept wasn’t already now theirs to own and explore as they see fit.”
“Sometimes, like Alex Turner, successful artists just want to shed a skin. Others however want to go naked, mindful of nobody’s judgement. Right now, Matt Healy and his friends are not afraid of looking everyone in the eye.”
