Originally released as the third single from their album of the same name in October 2005, the new music video for 'Human After All' features clips from Daft Punk's avant-garde sci-fi film Electroma, edited by their long-time creative director Cédric Hervet.

Electroma premiered at Cannes Film Festival in 2006, and follows "Hero Robot No. 1" and "Hero Robot No. 2" as they discover a town of Robots in Southern California — the film didn't feature any music from Daft Punk, instead utilising tracks from Brian Eno, Curtis Mayfield, and Todd Rundgren.

While Sunday (February 22) marked five years since Daft Punk split, the new visual is just the latest in a series of visual and musical content shared by the defunct French duo.

In September, Daft Punk debuted a "first of its kind" collaboration with video game Fortnite, allowing players to players to “step through the veil and embark on a sonic journey through the minds of the GRAMMY-winning electronic duo.”
