i’m not a big fan of arcade fire, but i absolutely LOVE this brilliant concept in their interactive video “the wilderness downtown.” it uses multiple cascading windows, animated birds, and, the best part, google street views of the street where you grew up. it’s all beautifully woven together to make you want to cry and, in the end, send a postcard of advice to your childhood self (an option at the end). the song is meh, but the experience is WOAH.
the video was designed for use with a chrome browser, but i used firefox and it seemed to work just fine.
