Utopia Mobile Phone Theme

Ian Lynam has created a new theme called “Utopia” for WKTokyoLab‘s mobile device shop.

Utopia Mobile Phone Theme

Lynam describes the theme:

The theme I created for the TokyoLab music label is called “Utopia” and is based on a music video that I did in collaboration with the Lab folks for NHK a few years ago. It is an animated modular pictorial utopian vision of Tokyo in the future.

You can see more images from the dynamic theme here.
