Justice share robot sex tape visual for new single 'Generator'
Featuring a "dalliance" between two humanoid robots, the glitchy visual aims to explore sexuality in the modern age of technology
Justice has just released a visual for their most recent single, 'Generator'.
Featuring an X-rated scene between two "humanoid robots," the glitchy visual comes courtesy of director Léa Ceheivi — seeing the pair tear off their skin to become part-human, part-machine.
The French duo had worked alongside Ceheivi to explore how "we see sexuality" in the age of modern technology.

“I think we were excited about the idea of replicating a phenomenon from the 2000s, such as a sex tape, but with a twist," says Ceheivi. "The rough aesthetic of it, the lack of control. So yes, in our world, AI robots can also have sex, and orgasm - ‘la petite mort.'’’
Justice, aka Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, recently confirmed details of their upcoming album 'Hyperdrama' — which is set to land on Ed Banger Records this April.
So far the pair have shared two singles from the record, including ‘Generator’ and the Tame Impala-featuring 'One Night/All Night’.
