To accompany their _Do It Again_ track “Monument,” the video takes visual cues from _2001: A Space Odyssey_, Neil deGrasse Tyson’s _Cosmos_ and (maybe!) the classic Martin Short/Dennis Quaid/Meg Ryan comedy _Inner Space_ to take viewers on a journey through the stars. Given those influences, the song and video are extraterrestrial and introspective. “It’s about exploring the space around you and finding your own space in it all,” director [Max Vitali](http://www.callboy.se/Max%5FVitali.html "undefined") told [The Creator’s Project](http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/royksopp-and-robyns-monument "undefined"), who produced the video. “\[Vitali\] had a very strong feeling and he started developing it,” Robyn said about the video. “We had all these conversations about what this place could look like, how do you explain these emotions, how do you communicate these things in a way that feels sincere.” The results are trippy and dreamy and, yes, _sincere_, as viewers seemingly float above the musicians as they move across the moon to hypnotic effect. It’s a suitably beautiful and strange visual for the avant-garde artists. Want to find out how they did it?
