Foundation Visual Art & Design student Jordan Clarke has already hit it big, in a way, by posting his Term 4 Discovery Project – self-directed work meant to allow students to explore their individual artistic abilities – to video site Vimeo. It’s called Human Movement, and it’s garnered an outpouring of positive comments, selection as a Vimeo staff pick, and even a mention in Wired‘s Listening Post blog, where writer Eliot Van Buskirk praised it for mixing breakdancing with the moody Canadian indie icon Caribou.

See it for yourself:

Jordan, who is also one of the dancers shown in the film, tells us, “I decided to mix this form of dance with a music style that it’s not usually associated with – lo-fi, down-tempo, indie. I also decided to play it backwards to really show off how unusually the body does move. The point was to associate two very different styles to show off the beauty of human motion, or movement.”

Internet success might be fleeting, but it’s no less satisfying. “It’s definitely been extremely encouraging knowing that people other than myself like my work and understand the point I was trying to get across,” Jordan says. “I feel a lot more a part of the internet film community and have been re-inspired to work on my next project.”
