Synopsis

A monochrome fever dream built from cats, "Systematic" has little interest in conventional storytelling. Instead, feline faces and bodies multiply, mirror, rotate and lock into hypnotic geometric designs, producing a rapidly shifting kaleidoscope of whiskers, eyes and fur. The playful imagery moves in step with the song's propulsive electronic pulse, balancing cuteness with an almost psychedelic sense of visual overload. What begins as recognizable cat footage gradually becomes an abstract pattern machine, turning internet-era animal imagery into a surreal audiovisual spectacle.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video accompanied "Systematic," a track from Midnight Juggernauts' 2013 album "Uncanny Valley." It was also promoted alongside the "Systematic EP."

• The clip was released in November 2013, when online cat culture was already a dominant part of internet life. Its concept turns that phenomenon into the video's central visual language.

• The imagery is presented in black and white, helping the repeated cats read as shapes and textures as much as animals.

• The production was credited to Division, with the video released through the French label Record Makers.

• Keyboardist Vincent Vendetta said his initial reaction was to laugh throughout the video and specifically noted that no animals were harmed.
