The Evolution of Dance

This is the most viewed video on YouTube with nearly 94 million views, and it is hilarious.  Enjoy:

House of Cards

While browsing the Radiohead site, I also found the band’s latest video for “House of Cards.”  Usually I do not care for music videos, but when Radiohead creates something, I pay attention.  Their latest project is especially cool. Here is a little background on how it was made followed by the video itself:

In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.

Big Ideas

I found this really cool remix of the song “Nude” by Radiohead.  The remix was made by a Glasgow School of Art student who (and I quote him) “grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they’re trying their best to do something that they’re not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.”  The sound is crazy considering the source.  It is really neat.  Check it out:
