boards of canada: roygbiv

Roygbiv by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada is paired with retro-futuristic visuals and vintage television imagery. Mid-1980s corporate culture, technological advancement, and consumer aesthetics interweave with warm analog synthesizers and downtempo hip-hop percussion. Scenes of early computer graphics, telecommunication control rooms, archival footage of daily modern life, and a young boy examining microchips invoke a nostalgic yet haunting reflection on the technological optimism of past decades.
