“The transformation of concrete labors into abstract labor renders the labor into something akin to the notorious pink goo or pink slime that industrial, processed meat now contains,” the scholar McKenzie Wark wrote. On the ground, the work of girls is being mined for profit in concrete ways: As India becomes a hub for tech manufacturing, Apple contractors like Foxconn and Tata Group are working hard to recruit more women workers as contract labor for their iPhone assembly plants. As many as 85 percent of factory workers in India working for such Apple contractors are women. While contract work is precarious and doesn’t include benefits, companies like Foxconn offer free food, housing, and transportation. The last time these subcontractors rushed to hire hoards of new workers, over 250 workers fell sick due to tainted food, triggering protests and factory shutdowns. According to Reuters, Foxconn told Indian state officials that it had “ramped up production too quickly” ahead of the iPhone 13 launch. By the time the Apple icon turns up on your screen, the device has already been shaped by the hands of women hard at work. When creating and sharing ourselves through the internet, we become enmeshed in the abstract labor of being a girl online. If we extrude ourselves through the filters and hashtags, we come out the other side as a sludge of marketable microtrends, aesthetics, subcultures, and niche celebrities — our own version of the notorious pink goo.

Making the Old Me music video for 5 Seconds Of Summer

Kieran Fowler NZCS ACS on filming with 5 Seconds of Summer (Australian Cinematographer Magazine)

'5 Seconds of Summer were really down to earth dudes. It was an absolute pleasure working with them. They made the shoot very pleasant and enjoyable.'

'...In my initial conversations with Lux-Davis, we talked about capturing a sense of nostalgia and journey through time. She showed me a lot of older photographic work from the 1980s and late 1990s. Some of it was pretty funky and looked cross-processed. There were also these iconic images of bands photographed on wide angles with the entire image circle in shot. I loved it, for some reason it reminded me of music videos from when I was growing up.

5 Seconds of Summer were really down to earth dudes. It was an absolute pleasure working with them. They made the shoot very pleasant and enjoyable. At first, I was quite nervous about working with Lux-Davis, with a portfolio like hers. She’s directed iconic videos for some of the biggest names in pop music in America like Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus...

...I first met Lux-Davis on the location scout which was a whirlwind of a day, scouting a heap of different locations. We hit it off well. We didn’t get much pre-production time together, but she had a very clear vision and passion for the project that was infectious. Whilst mainly responding to her photographic references, I did look into Todd Phillips’ The Joker (2019, cinematography by Lawrence Sher ACS), as I loved the film’s treatment of colour. It felt in the palette of classic photographic film emulsion...

...The final shot of the video was a very special moment. It was honestly the closest feeling I’ve had to feeling like a rock star, walking out behind the band into a 70,000 crowd stadium. It was such an adrenaline rush. It was not only the best way to end the music video but also the shoot. It was such a huge buzz.

We only needed to capture one shot, but the label and the director wanted me to try and capture more. I ended up on stage for most of the performance. I was honestly waiting for security to pull me off the stage, as I was right up there with lead singer Luke Hemmings and definitely overstaying my welcome. If you look back at the live broadcast of the concert I’m running around in shot and ruining all of the coverage.

I genuinely don’t think I would change anything with the benefit of hindsight. The clip ended up getting me a nomination for the MTV Video Music Award for Best Cinematography, which is much more than I expected from this opportunity, so I must have done something right.'

—extra random (literally) post today but: I was looking for details on Ross Duffer and his wife Leigh Janiak (to see if/how he ever took inspiration from her work on Fear Street or other projects she's done) and found….basically an architectural/design magazine piece on the redesign they did on their house in LA?

—I may be a Matt fan when it comes to personality in interviews, but…these two have TASTE lmao. This is right up there with David Harbour's NYC apartment for me in terms of design aesthetics. The combonation of clean lines with whimsy & color is just *chefs kiss*

...still looking for the Leigh / Ross professional commentary tho lmfao
