You’re going to need much more than just a computer, a monitor, and some speakers to truly get down with Arcade Fire’s music video for “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains).” Why? Because it’s more than just your typical music video. If you have a broadband connection, webcam, and a microphone, you can turn the Suburbs track’s visuals into a fully interactive, user-manipulated experience.
You’ll have to go to this website to set up the full interactive experience — I’m waiting on a friend to drop off some acid before I do it.
Meanwhile, it’s still a pretty wonderful video without the bells and whistles. Enjoy.
