Radiohead’s laser show

thomNobody else would do it would they? Radiohead’s new video for “House of cards” wasn’t actually filmed as such – no cameras or lights were involved.

No, Oxford’s finest used a laser to record the data of the movement taking place in front of it. Explaining it fully would take hours but the story is fascinating. So I highly-recommend the following:

The video itself (on YouTube)

The director talking about what they actually did (on YouTube)

And – because it was data that was recorded and not filmed – you can actually interact with the “video” (oh God it’s too hard to explain, just click here and trust me).
