After nine months of blood, sweat and toil, NY’s Ghost Robot and UVPH have released the 2D version of Björk’s “Wanderlust” directed by Encyclopedia Pictura (aka Isaiah Saxon and Sean Hellfritsch). According to UVPH EP Brian Welsh, the 3D version of the 7.5 minute 2K epic will release as part of a boxed set complete with 3D glasses.
