Daft Punk flew in the face of pop stardom, erasing their humanity from their releases. The supposed star duet went against the cult of the celebrity zooming in on the strobe light rather than the pop star below it. From the beginning... First they had to make the machines sing. Bend them around as much as possible. Not let mechanical purrs set in, but at all times, as if they opened up the hood to divert the connector industry, try to play with the unexpected hope of a ruthless mechanical creation. This way, by the time the Asimov robot theory gets under way, the robots will be very human-like. They had to forget about faces in order to create the artwork, erase the human on the plastic coated paper, refute the easiness of celebrity to make 1000 video clips each one more suggestive than the other. Daft Punk decided that being challenging on record wasn't enough so they started to work on the visual side as well. As a result their videos have always made an instant impact. The duo enlisted some young maverick producers to interpret their work visually and the first brilliant young quartet consisted of Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Seb Janiak and Roman Coppola. Later on, Daft Punk’s videos went into darker territory. The duo even went as far as Japan to enlist a Manga maestro on their Interstella 5555 film - Getting to the essential, where life is, keep on moving and rocking to savour it all the more. This way, on Asimov’s day, we’ll see the human underneath the robot without judging the hood.
