The world is undergoing monumental changes in these decades. This can sometimes be unsettling and applies to practically every country. From Mongolia to Canada and from Chile to the Netherlands. Digital technology, media and artificial intelligence, quantum, the enormous increase in knowledge about almost everything and at the same time the international balance of power is shifting on all fronts.

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week: a trifecta of music videos by Michael Gracey. Michael Gracey started out as a special effects artist, before making it big as a music video and advertisement director. The horrifying Evian babies on roller skates commercial, that’s him. Not yet a household name as a director, he is a commercially savvy director to watch, thanks to his break-out hit The Greatest Showman, and the buzzy Better Man, also known as the Robbie Williams as a chimpanzee musical biopic. Extra information for Americans: Robbie Williams is a huge popstar in Europe, and not, in fact, a chimpanzee. Michael Gracey’s work thus far has showcased two things, both…
