M.I.A. gives 3d-printed firearms, vapes, and automatons to adolescents in new music feature



M.i.a. is nothing if not provocative. Yesterday saw the arrival of the agitpop rapper's self-controlled music feature for Double Bubble Trouble, one of the tracks off her 2013 collection Matangi. Like much of her work in the previous decade, its creating an impression; in our dim technofuture, young people will utilize what they can to oppose anyway they can.

The feature begins off with a sound report presenting 3d-printed weapons, which are ever-exhibit in the short as the teenagers around her make out, blow vape rings, and move under skimming automatons in their ash, smudged slums. At one point, a scribbling of "1984 is Now" flashes over the movement. Still, the high schoolers in her feature appear to be earnestly subverting this specific vision of an Orwellian dystopia, regardless of the fact that they're trapped by it. The firearms themselves, printed on in-home Makerbots and flaunted with pride, are enriched with brilliant colors and wild examples, and the automatons streak peace signs. M.i.a., who's no more bizarre to utilizing images of brutality to development her governmental issues, even flashes a sky blue firearm herself and vapes with the best of them. The movement misses the mark concerning lauding the images she utilizes — reconnaissance society and access to weaponry have obviously gone too far — yet she makes an intriguing strain between enabling her partner and telling a useful exam
