Best regards, Mark Mixmash Shantell Martin - Koob's Shantell Martin’s new DVD features a diverse collection of short videos that demonstrate the artist’s playful inventiveness with both the concept and tools of drawing - which in Martin’s case include more traditional media such as the humble marker pen alongside a WACOM electronic drawing tablet and packing tape. Canvases utilised range from projector screens to mock computer tennis and the human body to the outdoor landscape. The DVD explores a clean, rendered subgenre currently developing in the visual arts scene. The music videos lean toward minimalist abstraction, creating worlds where the elemental play of light and form compete with structure for the leading role. Varying approaches yield a range of moods from the intricate delicacy of ‘Interustic’ to the surreal ambience of 'Legs' and 'Koob’s'.

Top IDM and ambient producers provide a lush musical canopy for Sheppee’s animations and a host of international artists contribute visual remixes of his compositions. Combining a consistent, modern soundtrack with museum-calibre images, the music videos lean toward minimalist abstraction, creating worlds where the elemental play of structure, light, and icon compete for the leading role. A key element of Hidden Partition is the collaborative concept - Sheppee shared his source files with top visual performers and designers around the world. Each VJ then remixed the elements of one track, arranging and interpreting the composition in their own style. The results are included as extra tracks doubling the content and providing an interesting comparison of artistic interpretation.
