UK’s Tell No One has created a pretty amazing video featuring a man creating [seaweed-like sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures) with his arms. The idea was to create a a [lo-fi video experiment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-void) and see what the outcome was. The video is pretty amazing, looking accurately enough like seaweed.

I have little to no experience with lo-fi, but this video makes it look pretty cool. I love the way the man’s hands actually move as if they’re underwater, making them resemble seaweed even more. This was definitely an awesome idea by Tell No One for an [art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidal-stories)!
