Following our previous discussion on the philosophy behind Daft Punk’s body of work, this post serves as a continuation. Personally, I am convinced that there is a philosophical aspect to everything, including the Prime Time Of Your Life video which undeniably presents social commentary. Whether this philosophy is deliberately intended by the artists to convert us or if it unconsciously reflects concepts we already acknowledge, I do not wish to speculate.
While I may not completely agree with their philosophy, I believe it is possible to understand the message about Life, the Universe, and Everything conveyed by these two Frenchmen who dress as robots. To better comprehend their ideas, I have gathered information from their works and interviews wherein Daft Punk expressed a desire to go beyond music (specifically in a Japanese interview). It is important to mention that they do not directly delve into any of these subjects.
Regardless of the influence of interviews or reviews from external sources, I prioritize the significance of everything since the “accident” and emphasize that the work should be able to stand on its own. Additionally, I let subsequent works shape my interpretation of earlier pieces, even if intentional patterns are not present. Despite this, I am still persevering with it.
