‘Soy tu Aire’ an interactive music video

Check out this cool execution of an interactive music video clip. It’s not the first one i’ve seen, check out the one for Arcade Fire, and it won’t be the last.

I see this kind of content taking off. It’s less narative and more based on the music, though i could imagine that a more narrative piece could be made. Definately not a replacement for the mighty video clip! (i hope) But surely a good alternative for a more engaging user experience. I’m keen to see the next one done in this style.

You can check out the clip here.

Talk about an A-list for this one. One of the band members is a guy called mcbess who has an awesome illustration style. (it’s the one used in the video)

With a bit of help from The Mill this is pretty great. Check it out!

Wolfram|Alpha’s long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries.

Wolfram|Alpha aims to bring expert-level knowledge and capabilities to the broadest possible range of people—spanning all professions and education levels. Our goal is to accept completely free-form input, and to serve as a knowledge engine that generates powerful results and presents them with maximum clarity.

Wolfram|Alpha is an ambitious, long-term intellectual endeavor that we intend will deliver increasing capabilities over the years and decades to come. With a world-class team and participation from top outside experts in countless fields, our goal is to create something that will stand as a major milestone of 21st century intellectual achievement.

Try it out, this is the future of the net I’m sure. Finally the wealth of information on the net is becoming more accessible, as the information grows so must our ability to filter and sort it.

How good is the new Phoenix stuff! They even have a great clip to go with it. This projection stuff is really taking off. I’m hoping they have a set up like this when the play live! (though i doubt it)

Maybe i can convince someone to let me project on them like this while they’re playing… we can only hope.
