Stanley Donwood -- aka Dan Rickwood -- responsible for all of Radiohead's captivating album artwork, will have his art displayed in the exhibit The Panic Office. The Sydney, Australia, exhibit will run from May 21 to June 6 at Carraigeworks and will feature more than a thousand pieces involving Radiohead and Thom Yorke albums over a 25-year career.
From Radiohead's debut album Pablo Honey to their most recent The King of Limbs, Donwood -- aka "The Sixth Member" -- has been involved with the band every creative step of the way, reported Pitchfork. He is also recognized for working with lead singer Thom Yorke on two solo abums and a side band, Atoms for Peace. Aside from his collaborations, some unseen artwork including drawings, paintings and screen prints will make way into the Carriageworks exhibit.
"Some are original, some are unseen and all bear Donwood's evocative and haunting imagery that all helped to create one of the world's most distinctive brands," said Carriageworks, according to NME.
The PolyFauna app, which features music from Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, Yorke's latest LP, brought Radiohead and Donwood back together for their most current partnership. Also included in the project are Nigel Godrich and Universal Everything.
The app allows users to enter into a different dimension just by moving their phones around through Z-depth map animation. By pressing and holding three fingers in the upper left corner, users can choose one of eight dimensions in which they want to enter. Colorful and mesmerizing images paired with soothing music in the background make for a highly innovative and interactive app that engages users at any time of the day.
Instagram users even screenshot and post their favorite visuals to social media in support of the app.
