Get Acquainted with Cyborg Beetles and 'Christian Woodstock' in Our Latest VICE Docs

Some recent videos to blow your mind and cap off your weekend.

A lot of long and hard work went into some VICE documentaries that were released this week, so we decided to give them a little bit of extra love today.

To start, spend some time with our Noisey crew at Creation, the largest Christian music festival in the United States. Next, jet off to Singapore with Motherboard to learn about remote-controlled bugs made by next-level engineers. (No, it's not like that one bee episode of Black Mirror.) After that, check out a handful of our other recent videos from TONIC, The Creators Project, and the rest of the VICE family.
