The landscapes of Google Earth have never looked quite as hypnotic (or ominous) as they do in this music video from the band Lux Repeat. Created by designer Bartholomäus Traubeck, the clip takes viewers on an aerial voyage across Google Earth's pixelated landscape, in all its geographic desolation and graphic vibrance. Equal parts nature documentary and flight-simulator video game, it's ...

We've seen the Kinect do some pretty amazing tricks. It's easy to forget, though, that, despite all the hacking and bolting the gaming peripheral to robots, the Kinect is a video camera at heart. Artists Dom Jones and Dan Nixon recorded and processed the footage for a video from a band called Echo Lake using the Kinect. The results are a sublime blend of musical specters performing the song, ...

Are you dreaming about how an obsessive knowledge of CS5 CS4 and iPhoto can turn you into a leather-jacket-and-hoodie-wearing rockstar? (Or is that just our fantasy?) The Limousines' music video for 'Very Busy People' (kinda NSFW) comes straight from the computer of director Mathieu Wothke, who painstakingly edits, 'shops and pieces together the jam before your eyes. Our favorite part: ...

"We reached 1 Billion ...

For a band whose lyrics pine so heavily for a technologically simple past, Arcade Fire has really pushed themselves into the forefront of Internet marketing with the announcement of their third feature length album, 'The Suburbs.' First, the Canadian septet drafted a handwritten postcard to their fans announcing their upcoming single, scanned it and uploaded the missive for the blogosphere to ...

We're aware that the music video for smoldering Turkish singer (and apparent Tweetyphile) Ismail YK's tune 'Facebook' is at least seven months old, but we don't care. (Is it too late to include this on 'The Social Network' soundtrack?) Awkward Google lyrics translation: "[Something] Justin Timberlake [something]. I think I fell in love with Facebook, Facebook." Enjoy this over-produced, glossy ...

Musician Arman Bohn has created his newest music video with a decidedly fun piece of technology: the Nintendo DSi. To create the video for his song "Brain Games," Bohn drew images in the DSi's 'Flipnote Studio' program, and then exported them to 'After Effects' for editing and animation. In the video, anthropomorphic letters and numbers cavort as they watch Bohn perform on a TV monitor, ...

We don't want to give Lady Gaga any more hype than what she already amasses on a daily basis, but her new commercial video for "Bad Romance" positively deserves comment. Besides googly anime eyes, white vinyl body suits, razor blade sunglasses, 'True Blood'-inspired travel coffins, and a whole lot of fire, "Bad Romance" features a staggering number of gadget product placements, including the ...

In between his hectic schedule of making beautiful women swoon with his trademark dulcet tones, and making sure that his eyes are never more than 50-percent open, John Mayer, amazingly, has found time to revolutionize online music videos. His latest single, "Heartbreak Warfare," from the album 'Battle Studies,' introduces what's being called the world's first "augmented reality music video," ...

Without question, the above is one of the most captivating viral videos to have crossed our monitors here at Switched in ages. Not to mention one of the most mysterious Of Japanese origin (where else?), this piece of cyber-surrealism was directed by Masashi Kawamura, Hal Kirkland, Magico Nakamura, and Masayoshi Nakamura as a music video for SOUR, a quirky, three-piece band. 'Hibi no neiro' ...

The team reimagined the world of 'West Side Story' as if it had happened in the Web-obsessed age of 2009. 'Web Site Story' follows the story of Tony and Maria, a couple that met ...

Madonna, the star whose BlackBerry addiction might just have had something to do with her recent unsuccessful marriage, has recently been banned from YouTube after Google and the singer's label, Warner Music Group, failed to reach a content-sharing agreement. Maddy isn't the only celeb supposedly prevented from having their content posted on the site, as all other Warner artists -- everyone ...

Radiohead have consistently proven themselves to be unpredictable and at the technological forefront of the music industry. Their latest experiment however, takes things in a surprising new direction. The band's new video for its song 'House of Cards' was filmed without any cameras.

Just days after stripping its tracks of copy protection for the iTunes Plus Store, record label EMI has inked a deal with YouTube to bring videos by EMI artists to the site and eventually allow users to incorporate its artists' songs into their own YouTube postings.
