ARTMS ‘Virtual Angel' Official MV

[@rabbitf1sh]

epilepsy warning aside, i feel like this rly does represent what i think a virtual angel would look like as a video - stunning visuals that are too hard to look at for too long, flashing images that you aren't able to fully process, kind of like a "biblically accurate" digital celestial being :P

[@LOOOP2024]

I don't know how to describe it. This song makes me extremely emotional as orbit. We've been gone through so much as a fandom and witness our girls' suffering. And now they're comeback and thriving. This makes me cry everytime i listen to it.

[@windowbreezes]

partly how i feel. It is tragedy in a song. 😢

[@ada-gamez]

idk much about loons but are they the same girlies? or what happened to them? I found them like today T-T

[@icymoons]

​@@ada-gamez artms is made out of 5 members from loona. the other 7 members went solo (chuu and yves) or debuted in another group, loossemble. basically their former company bbc was terrible to them and the members all risked their careers and filed lawsuits to get their contracts suspended, and now they're back and making music again. it's very bittersweet

[@loonartms]

they seemed so happy performing in seoul im so happy for them finally. and thanks modhaus honestly they're doing great.

This is one of the most creative KPOP MV right now imo. The "dark, eerie, gangsta, cult-like, obsession" theme blended with epilepsy angelic visual from the girls is just chef kiss.

[@_aPaladin]

good concept, I understand what the editor was going for... perfectly fits the Virtual feel, the screen door effects, the old tv effects, pictures popping in and out... love it. might be a bit excessive but love it!

[@Kurt634]

I think the main issue is that the camera shots/framing and the position all the girls are in throughout the different scenes that keep being switched between are all very different which makes it feel abit jarring/your eyes are darting everywhere to try and keep track of what's going on instead of being able to focus on one area of the screen. Results in a bit of vertigo/sickness/visual overload (in a bad way). Needs to be more flow. But apart from that I love it. And yeah the concept behind this video was definitely giving life flashing before your eyes vibes.

[@jellybonesmasterfue45]

I also understand what the editor was going for, but I think if they used a lot of match-cuts in this mv instead of a jarring amount of straight cuts (I do love the straight cuts don't get me wrong, but it's a bit overwhelming), it would have not only been not painful to watch, but also get the theme of distortion between virtual and reality across very effectively. Nevertheless, this mv and song is going to be my new obsession for the whole summer lol.

virtual angel is my DREAM concept, i genuinely wasn't expecting this from artms. the visuals showing reality and virtual world, the colors, the lyrics, the girls voices, every aspect is so invigorating and artistically inspiring. i'm so proud of them! i can't wait for all the promotional activities for this debut, i've missed these girls a lot and i know that the stages will be especially exciting

[@헬로망스드로잉]

정대표님이 기획한 뮤비를 보면 아이돌과 팬의 관계에 관한 설명을 하는 것 같다 아니 의문을 던지는 것 같다 "왜 아이돌을 좋아하니?"라고 이 뮤비에서는 자신의 불우한 환경에서 도망치는 도피처라고 생각하는 것 같다 . 아이돌을 좋아하는 이유는 다양하지만 이건 일부분을 표현한 것 같다. 어째든 아이돌을 좋아하는 것은 안식처 또는 긍정적으로 표현 된것 같다.

[@slowwavesleeep]

I love how it is very experimental and beautiful at the same time. Goosebumps. Saw someone's suggested that the editing may have been done this way because of the concept: you can't look long at divine and angelic creatures as they are extraterrestrial and your eyes would hurt because their glow is too bright, or you start tripping when you look at them. It may explain: 1:47 people are blind(?) and then their eyes start to change when they look at the sky 2:36 when they are dancing on the roof their images are very bright and imperceptible to human vision and the girl that's watching them has to use video camera to make them more 'visible' (she's also looking at the camera's display, not directly at them, so she doesn't go blind). or it could be that they're not actually there and girl is seeing them only on camera because they are 'virtual' 2:11 'the sun will never win against me' kinda suggests that they are even brighter then the star itself, and the whole scenes when they dance on clouds suggest that 'you don't need the sun, be under us, we are better' And overall the whole thing about girls with wings that are breaking cars, making a mess kinda looks like a cult that recruited the girl in the car at around 0:16 ps. I understand people's complaints though, the MV can be difficult to perceive ps.2 I just went through the comments and omg there are so many good theories of this like it's a 'flashing of memories before life ends', 'angels can be blinding but the more you look the more you see'. It's nice when people can not only complain, but can also think and appreciate.

[@ub3794]

WOAH that explanation is everything

[@discotiq]

Yes thank you! So many people are leaving the artistic endeavor of the editing behind! Modhaus was definitely brave for this release, it's almost a nonconformity statement

[@ub3794]

@@discotiq I agree the editing choice is very creative. Even the team might've been nervous to make this choice but it really got the message across. Also euro dance is kinda boring for me but the MV really made the music better. But it's definitely growing on me

The dreamcore/analogue concept is IT! ARTMS fighting! 🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑 Anyway... 🪽🖥LORE ANALYSIS 💽📹 Note: + The MV feature a light cult-based social group concept ( 0:48, based on the cultists' obsessive and rather aggressive nature). + It also seems like the angles ( ARTMS ) are only viewable via any antique electronic devices ( VHS, camcorder, ... ), hence the name - Virtual Angel. + The rapid blipping in and out of two separate beings could either suggest that: A. Their, ARTMS, existence as angels only come into our life periodically; or B. The cultists are under some kind of influence, like ecstasy ( although drug usage has always been connected with cults, I highly doubt this theory since all of the cultists are quite conscious throughout the MV. They just seem a bit somber or lament ) + All of the cultist outfits feature coquette-esque clothing with tattoos of ARTMS' symbolisms all over their body and 5 stars ( 5 members of ARTMS ) on each eyelid. + Throughout history & modern media, angels have always been depicted with white clothing and blue eyes. We can see ARTMS in that fit here ( they absolutely ate those fits up 👑👑👑 ) + The dancing scenes from ARTMS frames feature a clouded sky in a rather exotic FOV. IDK why tho. - Edit I: The lore is getting quite heavy, at 2:41 exact frame, we see the same broken VHS statue seen in Birth. - Edit II: At 3:04, the girl capturing ARTMS dancing is actually facing us, the viewers, while 5 crosses are floating in the background, emphasising that she's either unaware of the crosses, or she's part of the plan. - Edit III: At 2:36 exact frame, the codes appear to be a C family programming language. - Edit IV: At 2:42 exact frame, a blue rose is shown, and in Korea ( based on Google ), it symbolised the untouchable & uniqueness. - Edit V: 2:22, huh, single glowing figure? Looks like the one in Birth, but this time it's one of the members. And also, all of them are glowing so IDK? - Edit VI: 0:22 and 3:04, it's the same girl! She is the only one in student's uniform and isn't dressed with wings. - Edit VII: 1:48, laser eyes! - Edit VIII: The blue arrows at 2:04 could've been lapis lazuli, an ore that symbolises spirituality. - Edit IX: 1:45, BE NOT AFRAID. - Edit X: I don't what about the upside-down pyramid frame shown through the whole MV means, but I guess it has something to do with "reversed roles"?
