The bar gets progressively higher and higher for OK Go and their music videos. Dopey dance routines lead to treadmills lead to a Rube Goldberg machine lead to dogs and now OK Go and their choreographic collaborator Trish Sie say hello to two heavyweights: Google Chrome Experiments and Pilobolus. Google Chrome is the lean and mean browser with exceptional HTML 5 support that has allowed for music video experiments like Arcade Fire's The Wilderness Downtown and Rome's 3 Dreams Of Black. Pilobolus is one of the most celebrated and inventive modern dance companies in the world. All that comes together in this video, which takes a worm' eye view — aka: the camera shoots up through a clear floor — to show Ok Go and a series of dancers creating all sort of patterns and letters and other crazed formations. If you click through to the Google Chrome playground you get a much better experience, with multiple windows and the ability to type in your own message. --> watch "All Is Not Lost" (interactive link) and a making of
