Congratulations! You Directed Grimes's New Music Video

Grimes is onto something special with the release of her new video for "You'll Miss Me As soon as I'm Not Around." The clip for the song, that comes from her Miss Anthropocene album that dropped in February, is intentionally unfinished, giving creatives around the world a chance to prepare their own videos out of it. She's handed over the keys to the candy shop to prepare your own version of Grimes. We can't wait to be able to see what'll come out of this.


"You'll Miss Me Once I'm Not Around" comes with a creative clip featuring Grimes stretching out her mechanical angel wings while gripping her pregnant stomach. She holds a sword that she swipes airborne over the course of the video. Surrounding her is a massive green background that'll undoubtedly be modified by fans who start tinkering with it.


This idiosyncratic Grimes initiative comes with the help of the WeTransfer, ArtStation, and Native Instruments platforms. Creators who download the official art kit files from WeTransfer can then edit them how they visualize fit, make a video, and then post it YouTube. From then on, they can tweet the link and also the hashtag #grimesartkit. Grimes will then share some of her preference clips any time as soon as she sees them.


The sky's the limit for what creative clips will arise from this challenge. With Grimes's track record for out-of-this-world videos, evident in recent clips for "Idoru," "Violence," and "Delete Forever," it'll be up to fans to match her level of intensity to bring about some mind-blowing flicks that'll make the singer gasp.


Grimes's Miss Anthropocene features "So Heavy I Fell Via Earth," "My Name Is Dark," and more. In the case that we get extra clips from the LP, we can only hope that creatives get a chance to further build their own visions of Grimes's aesthetic.
