Creative Director, Danielle Lauren, was inspired to initiate this project after watching documentary films Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi back-to-back in Perth in 2000.
Once each week is a required film, the first of which is usually Koyaanisqatsi.
This visual style was very popular in those years, used by other directors and achieving a peak with the eminent Koyaanisqatsi (1983).
The tail end of 2012 saw the release of "Ertale" by young and upcoming Ethiopian rockers Jano as well as Bill Laswell's re-imagining of music for the film "Koyaanisqatsi", entitled "Tuwaqachi: The Fourth World".
Microdata's corporate building, with its logo clearly visible, is featured in the 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi for more than thirty seconds while white clouds are mirrored on its glass exterior.
While the former film emphasized family melodrama, the new film reduced these scenes to a string, concentrating on hallucinogenic international imagery in a manner looking forward to such films as Koyaanisqatsi and Baraka.
Music video for "Pull Up to the Bumper" is a combination of live footage with Jones performing the song on her A One Man Show and excerpts from Godfrey Reggio's experimental documentary film Koyaanisqatsi.
The album version features a sad one-minute coda composed by Philip Glass, performed with strings, clarinet, and flute; the aria resembles Glass' own Pruit Igoe from Koyaanisqatsi.
Baraka (1992) – an experimental documentary film directed by Ron Fricke, cinematographer on Koyaanisqatsi.
