What We’re Watching: A New Kind of Advent Calendar
If the delicious milk chocolate inside each door of your advent calendar isn’t really doing anything for your serotonin levels we have a different kind of calendar that is guaranteed to satiate your desire for stimulation and inspiration without the calories or the messy fingers.
Video artist David Wilson supplies plenty of holiday sweets with his Alternative Advent project. It’s a video each day that pairs amazing archival animated footage with new music from bands like Caribou, Crystal Antlers, Battles, Les Savy Fav, Little Boots and more. Today is a great time to come into a project like this because you can binge all you want and still not feel like you’re overdoing it!
We were introduced to David’s concept through the Creators Project, which is a partnership between Intel and Vice. They do some incredible things on that site and we would highly recommend you check it out! So much goodness, so little time until Christmas. But hey, when What We’re Watching are websites like this it’s like Christmas everyday!
