Experimental lyric video produced entirely through iPhone screen recording

Politics! is an experimental lyric video for the Girls At Our Best! single of the same name, produced entirely through screen recordings of my iPhone home screen. Every transition was choreographed in real time, typed into Notes, and surfaced through Messages notifications. The phone itself becoming the stage.

The project treats the home screen as a found typographic system. Native UI elements act as editorial tools. Notification banners and scrolling become a language for rhythm and cadence. The result is a lyric video that recontextualizes the song's post-punk urgency into smartphone surveillance anxiety.
