FfFfFfFF 55,680 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Speaking in a stream of consciousness over the phone from Los Angeles, Grimes reels off the rest of her points of inspiration for Miss Anthropocene’s surreal visions. [...] To promote the album, there were provocative billboards and street art that read “GLOBAL WARMING IS GOOD.” What was your thinking behind those? I was like, “Well, we could just throw my picture up and be like, ‘buy the album,’ and no one’s gonna give a ****—or we could treat the city like an art gallery and put up an actual piece of art that isn’t super promotional for the record but maybe it makes people think or makes people talk.” So [conceptual artist] Ryder [Ripps] put together the “GLOBAL WARMING IS GOOD” thing. When I saw it, I was like, “Oh, **** no, this is a huge mistake.” Then I was like, “Wow, this is so scary that I think we should probably put it up.” The goal was to have less advertising and more public art. How does your new avatar War Nymph, which was recently featured on the cover of a magazine, play into the album’s concept? War Nymph is a digital persona. It really is an alternative psyche. As a society we’re going through this weird psychological process of everybody splitting into two identities, their online identity and their real-life identity. Gaming reflects this too—the person I am in games is this other life I have that doesn’t relate to my physical life and having [felt] traumatized from how my online life was manifesting.

FfFfFfFF 55,680 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 She has also annouenced War Nymph radio (which I assume it's either another interview or a podcast) to take place tomorrow on Apple Music! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I wonder if Gaga will also slightly touch on this topic of the environment with the green tribe and the whole video game/anime theme.... Grimes is a genius and I hope she continues to make the art she wants Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
