Cool bands hated making them, MTV had stopped showing them, and innovative directors like Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry had long since moved on. Then, somewhere between OK Go's treadmill-dancing "Here It Goes Again" on YouTube (more than 37 million views) and Feist's "1234" choreography lesson turned iPod ad, the music video made a comeback — and launched a new generation of directors more at home with URL than TRL. Meet the next wave of filmmakers and their greatest hits — so far. Cat Solen Signature style: Art-school aesthetic on the cheap. Key video: Bright Eyes, "At the Bottom of Everything." As a jetliner plummets toward the ocean, the passengers gleefully embrace, and smiling stop-motion clouds play catch with the plane. "I want to keep making videos because they're artistic yet appeal to a mass audience," Solen says. Rik Cordero Signature style: Urban tales with a grime-noir twist. Key video: Nas, "Be a Nigger Too." A nine-minute epic of narrative arcs within arcs about the most loaded of words, with nearly every directorial technique thrown in. "It used to be the only outlet for non-mainstream videos were street DVDs," Cordero says. "When YouTube came along, we just ran with it like purse snatchers." Matthew Cullen Signature style: Technical chops and enough whimsy to choke a dramatic prairie dog. Key video: Weezer, "Pork and Beans." YouTube semi-celebs from Tay Zonday to the geographically challenged beauty queen are gathered into one joyous mega-meme. "The Web is the new home for the music video," says Cullen, who's currently making viral shorts with Tiger Woods for EA. "MTV has become an afterthought." Vincent Moon Signature style: Home movies of hipster bands busking the streets of Paris. Key video: Animal Collective, "Taste." Psych-folk weirdos roll down the street in a shopping cart singing garbled vocals into cardboard cups. Moon's video blog, La Blogotheque, features impromptu performances in odd places by bands like the Shins, Beirut, and the National. "I'm trying to fight what TV has made us in the past 20 years," he says. "I want to use these new screens to communicate with the world." Vincent Morisset Signature style: Interactive Flash apps set to music. Key video: Arcade Fire, "Neon Bible." Clicking on the screen while frontman Win Butler sings causes him to perform sleights of hand with spooky expressionistic flair. "When I was a kid," Morisset says, "I paid 50 cents for an MTV phone contest to see 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' a second time. So the immediacy of online is a plus." Keith Schofield Signature style: Visual gags worthy of Chuck Jones. Key video: Brighton Port Authority, "Toe Jam." Fatboy Slim tapped Schofield to shoot his new supergroup's first single (featuring Dizzee Rascal and David Byrne). In it, a bunch of shag-carpet-loving swingers dance nude, Busby Berkeley-style, but it's the censor bars over the naughty bits that steal the show. "It's great," says Schofield, who's working on videos for CSS, Ladyhawke, and the Ting Tings. "You can make a video about pop culture or videogames or Linux, and then it goes viral."

A few months ago, this could have been an encouragement to go to Brussels and see an interesting exhibition, but typically me, I write about it when it's almost over. Two days left, to be precise. So I was in Belgium last weekend, mostly to meet friends (like Zoe and Quarsan), see a Sun Kil Moon concert and gain weight by eating lots of fries, mussels, carbonades and stoemp, but particularly bad weather on Sunday persuaded me to see two exhibitions -- apart from the Pavilion of Temporary Happiness (made of 43,000 empty beer crates -- so much about temporary happiness) there was of course the Bozar (Palais des Beaux Arts), which is always good for interesting exhibitions. It's not only rockn'roll, baby features art exhibits by rock musicians -- Alan Vega, Antony, Bent van Looy (Das Pop), Bianca Casady (Cocorosie), Brian Eno, Chicks on Speed, David Byrne, Devendra Banhart, Fischerspooner, Jonsi Birgisson (Riceboy Sleeps), Kembra Pfahler, Kyle Field, Laurie Anderson, Miss Kittin, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeah's), Patti Smith, Pete Doherty, The Kills, The Residents and Yoko Ono, an obvious concept if you consider how many musicians started out as art students. Mixing the old and the young, the established and the upcoming, the settled and the unsettling made for an interesting show of strikingly varied quality -- enter a room and you'll immediately notice what and how much a certain musician has to say and is able to express through visual arts. Some of the exhibits were stunning, others seemed oddly flat and void of substance. Pieces that impressed me were of course Yoko Ono's massive installation "Ex It" with trees coming out of coffins; Nick Zinner's photographs and Brian Eno's meditative "77 million paintings". David Byrne's tree diagrams were funny in his usual way; the Residents' photographs were good, but known from album cover art; Devendra Banhart's drawings intriguing if a bit schizophrenic; and The Kills' video installation and polaroids surprisingly effective. Eno's "77 million paintings" is an application of his music to the visual arts by presenting a seemingly static, but really very slowly changing image. You don't really notice that anything is changing, but after a while you realize that you are staring at a completely different image. And why was I not surprised that Pete Doherty made his drawings using his own blood? They were better than I expected though. It's not only rock'n'roll, baby, 20 June to 12 September 2008, Bozar, Rue Ravensteinstraat 23, 1000 Brussels, Belgium. Catalogue available from Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com.
