Not surprisingly, Nick is in the forefront of dabbling with new technology in 2004. Eager to delve in the film, fashion, technology and music once again.
If you didn't know then...This was a time the iphone/ smartphones with a large full colour HD screen was not commercially born. Mobile phones existed of course, but they had only just begun to include the basic camera and video functions back then. Thus, making this Lyric project amongst the first of it's generation.

Kylie Minogue, Nick Rhodes, Bobby Gillespie and Julie Verhoeven were just some of the leading fashion, music and art creatives who came together for Lyric, a 2004 film project that broke new creative ground using the latest 'third generation' mobile-imaging technologies.
Each contributor or creative pairing was asked to make a series of short films, or 'motion clips', that visually interpret the song lyrics of their choice - including Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love', Goldfrapp's 'Strict Machine' and Barry Manilow's 'Copacabana' - producing one clip for each lyric line.
The films were recorded via a Motorola phone with video call facility on 3's video mobile network.
This project was amongst the first to initiate the creative use of the latest video mobile technology, enabled by the support of 3 and Motorola in partnership with SHOWstudio.
