La Di Da Di, Battles‘s outstanding new album, came out last month, and they’re keeping us excited. The band have just unveiled a brilliant video for the album’s electrifying track ‘Dot Net’, directed by Ben Jones. The video is the first part of the Channel 4’s upcoming Random Acts series, consisting of collaborations between filmmakers and Warp artists. Due to be broadcast later in the year, the series also includes collaborations with Darkstar, Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke.

Here’s what Dave Konopka from Battles said about this collaboration:

“Ben Jones and I went Massachusetts College of Art together in the 90s and I’ve been a huge fan of his work as both a solo artist and a member of Paper Rad ever since.

When Channel Four approached us about a collaboration with a visual artist, Ben Jones immediately came to mind because I have always thought that there would be a great synthesis of Ben’s experimental animation and Battles’ technicolor sounds–a joining of two forms that I have been wanting to make happen for years.

As luck would have it, when I reached out to Ben to see if he would be interested in collaborating, he had just finished installing a new solo show of some outstanding new work, which is featured throughout the Dot Net video. Through his incorporation of a live-action gallery scene intercut with his authentically one-of-a-kind animation, Ben made a video for Dot Net that is one of my favorite Battles video collaborations and absolute joy to watch over and over again.”
