In May 2021, Maxx Klaxon released “From The Air”, an electro cover of Laurie Anderson’s sinister 1982 classic, about a fateful trip on an airliner piloted by a madman.

A year later, Maximus Clarke’s 3D music video for the track was released worldwide. The clip depicts a surreal air journey through hallucinatory skies. Strange objects float past the windows, and swarming viruses permeate the cabin. Periodically, the plane passes over a dystopian cityscape, full of digital signs flashing strange, ominous pictograms.

The flow of images hints at a timely subtext: When those in power steer our society into regions of fear and chaos, we are all on a flight that’s headed for disaster.

FROM THE AIR debuted online on May 6, 2022. It has since been screened at 3D-Con in Tacoma, Washington, in July 2022; at the Stereoscopic Displays & Applications conference in San Francisco in January 2023; and at the International Stereoscopic Union conference in Tsukuba, Japan, in September 2023.
